The US economy is still growing steadily , how about Gold ?

18 нояб.

Gold prices fell nearly 5% last week, marking the biggest drop in nearly three years. Since its highest peak, gold prices have lost more than 250 USD (about 9%), a notable decrease since the beginning of the month.

The main reason for this price drop is the strengthening USD, making gold - which is traded in USD - more expensive for international investors, leading to reduced demand. In addition, expectations about the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy also put great pressure on gold prices.

Technical signals also contributed to this adjustment. The RSI (relative strength index) has dropped sharply from levels above 80, signaling a possible reversal from the previous uptrend.

US economic data shows that the economy is still growing steadily, while inflation appears to be leveling off. This, along with President-elect Donald Trump's upcoming policies, could cause inflation to rise in the coming years. Investors are concerned that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) may have to adjust its plan to reduce interest rates, affecting financial markets.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell in a recent speech emphasized that the Fed is "in no hurry to lower interest rates". He said the economy is growing strongly, allowing the Fed more time to decide on the appropriate level and speed of interest rate reduction.
