XAU/USD
ØGold attracts some dip-buying near the $1,770 area on Wednesday and steadily climbs back closer to its highest level since mid-August touched the previous day. The XAUUSD holds steady above the $1,780 level through the early North American session, though a slight recovery in the risk sentiment keeps a lid on any further gains.
ØThe US Dollar (USD) fails to capitalize on the overnight bounce from a three-month low and meets with a fresh supply, which, in turn, offers some support to the dollar-denominated Gold. The markets now seem convinced that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will hike interest rates at a slower pace in the coming months amid signs of easing inflationary pressures. The speculations were fueled by a surprise drop in US consumer inflation during October. Furthermore, Tuesday’s softer PPI reinforces the peak inflation narrative and continues to weigh on the buck.
ØThe repricing of the pace of the Fed’s rate-hiking cycle, meanwhile, keeps the US Treasury bond yields depressed. In fact, the yield on the benchmark 10-year US government bond languishes near its lowest level for the yield since October 5. This is seen as another factor undermining the USD and leading additional support to the non-yielding yellow metal. The intraday uptick, however, lacks bullish conviction. This, in turn, makes it prudent to wait for some follow-through buying before traders start positioning for any extension of a two-week-old strong uptrend.
