Gold price consolidates as investors sidelined ahead of US Manufacturing PMI

by anna

Gold price (XAU/USD) action is correcting on Monday after sensing resistance above $1,960.00 as the robust performance of the United States in the April-June quarter reinforces the need for more interest-rate hikes from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The precious metal is under pressure as the US Dollar capitalizes on upbeat Gross Domestic Product (GDP) numbers and a robust Durable Goods Orders report.

United States factory activities have been contracting for the past eight months due to the aggressive rate-tightening cycle by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The manufacturing sector is broadly expected to continue reporting a vulnerable performance as firms struggle to tap credit due to the twin headwinds of higher interest rates by the Fed and tighter credit conditions among US regional banks.

Gold price remains sideways near the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around $1.955.00 as investors shift their focus to factory activities and labor market data. On an hourly time frame, Gold price forms a bearish divergence that will be triggered after a breakdown below the crucial support of $1,940.00. An occurrence of the same would push the Gold price into a bearish trajectory.
