    XAU/USD

    • Gold price attracts some dip-buying near the $1,908-$1,907 region on Thursday and stalls the previous day’s modest retracement slide from its highest level since early February. The XAU/USD sticks to its modest gains near the $1,920 level, albeit lacks follow-through or a bullish conviction.
    • Credit Suisse’s move to bolster its financial position forces the US Dollar to reverse a part of the overnight strong gains of over 1%. This, along with the prevalent cautious mood around the equity markets, turns out to be another factor acting as a tailwind for the US Dollar-denominated Gold price. That said, the prospects for additional interest rate hikes by major central banks keep a lid on any meaningful upside for the non-yielding yellow metal. This, in turn, warrants some caution before placing aggressive bullish bets around the XAU/USD.

Meanwhile, the 20 and 50 SMA started turning north and continued developing far above 200 SMA, indicates bulls not exhausted yet.
