Introduction:

Today’s market review provides an exhaustive analysis of the gold and silver markets, focusing on the fundamental and technical drivers shaping current trends. This report is crafted to arm investors with the essential insights required to effectively navigate these dynamic markets.

 

Fundamental Analysis:

Gold prices today halted a two-day decline, buoyed during the Asian trading session by weaker-than-expected US job data, which has increased the likelihood of a Fed rate cut in September. This expectation has weakened the US Dollar, subsequently boosting USD-denominated gold. Conversely, easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a risk-on market mood may limit demand for safe-haven assets like gold.

Technical Analysis:

Gold

Gold is currently showing signs of potential stabilization after its recent drop, supported by key technical levels that may act as a springboard for future price movements.
