Will global gold remain bullish? - Analytics & Forecasts - 12 May 2024
A very important point that the current head of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, mentioned was that the market should expect a very sharp decrease in interest rates.
Economic analysts and financial market experts expect that US monthly inflation in April will decrease from 0.4% to 0.3% compared to the previous month.
Events of last week in the gold market:
Then came Thursday; the day when the market was waiting for an important report on US initial jobless claims (this report is one of the relevant news for the US job market and plays a significant role in shaping US central bank policies).
If gold were to increase, the first important resistance level would be $2370. If gold successfully surpasses this area, the next important level is $2380. If market bulls manage to push the price of gold higher, the next resistance levels would be $2390 and $2400.
In fact, it can be said that the global gold ounce had a very calm and non-fluctuating situation last week and on Monday.
Keep in mind that between these two reports, the CPI news will have a significant impact on the US dollar and gold prices, especially in these days when it is expected that the Federal Reserve will lower its rates in the coming months.
This means that BoE officials are expecting better economic growth with lower inflation in the future.
Additionally, the new forecasts of the Bank of England indicate that annual inflation rates are expected to decrease to 1.9% over the next two years and to 1.6% over the next three years, which is below BoE’s 2% target.
The interesting point was that BoE officials outlined a better economic growth and lower inflation outlook for the future.
Then global gold started to decline on Tuesday and Wednesday until reaching the important level of $2300.
In general, remember that if for any reason US monthly inflation exceeds market expectations, the US dollar will strengthen, and global gold prices will decline.
Additionally, it is predicted that annual CPI will decrease from 3.5% to 3.4%.

Next week, all eyes will be on the important inflation reports CPI and PPI in the US; the results of these two reports, especially the CPI news, will clarify the path of US central bank policies.

Global gold opened at $2301 on Monday, May 6, dropped to $2291, rose to $2332, and finally closed at $2323 on the working day.
It is worth noting that global gold was fluctuating between $2300 and $2330 levels until Thursday of last week. Eventually, the gold ounce started to rise and show strength on Friday after the weak weekly jobless claims report, surpassing expectations.
At the end, remember that the US is scheduled to release its retail sales report, and the Chinese are set to release their retail sales, industrial production, and housing price index news next Friday.

n fact, global gold gained over 2.5% last week and closed at a price level of $2360.
The most important point of this meeting was that despite traders’ concerns about the statements of RBA officials, the bank’s board did not present any statements or opinions that would change the future policies of RBA. In fact, RBA officials had taken a hawkish stance in their previous meeting which was not repeated in this meeting.

The floor and ceiling prices of gold in the past week were 2291 and 2378. If you open the daily gold chart now and plot an RSI indicator, you will see that the indicator’s peak is currently pointing upwards and showing a value of 60.
Analysts expect that monthly producer inflation remains steady at 0.2%, with only the\xa0monthly PPI\xa0itself expected to increase from 0.2% to 0.3%.
This was the highest figure since November 2023 and caused the US dollar to start declining against its competitors (in general, remember that the lower this report figure is, the stronger the dollar becomes, and conversely, the higher this number is, the weaker the dollar becomes).
Remember that as we mentioned before, the mentioned level of $2300 has been acting as an important support level for some time.
According to the latest reports, it is expected that the UK’s\xa0Gross Domestic Product (GDP)\xa0for the second quarter will be 0.2%, increasing to 0.9% in a year, then to 1.2% in 2026, and to 1.6% in 2027.
CPI, short for Consumer Price Index, is one of the most important\xa0economic indicators.\xa0Analysts refer to it as the Consumer Inflation Index or CPI.
Last week, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) held its important monthly meeting to determine the latest interest rate situation. As predicted by\xa0economic analysts and financial market experts, the RBA left its interest rates unchanged at 4.35%.
However, Michelle Bullock, the current head of RBA, reiterated that if inflation, especially in the services sector, remains high, policymakers are ready to act.

If gold were to decline, the first significant support level would be the important area of $2350. If gold penetrates below this area, the next important price level is $2340. If market bears push gold lower, the next important levels are $2330 and $2320.
In addition to the RBA, the Bank of England (BoE) authorities also held their important monthly meeting last week. As predicted by economic analysts and financial market experts, the BoE left its interest rates unchanged at 5.25% without any changes.

Following this statement, the British pound started to decline against the US dollar, disappointing its supporters.
If there is only one important report to be released next week that can move the dollar and gold, it is the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) news.
Weekly technical analysis of gold:
The CPI report is released in the US and many other countries with advanced economic structures, but due to the US’s influence on the\xa0global economy, analysts follow US CPI\xa0news more closely.
Also, the Producer Price Index (PPI) report is scheduled to be released a day before the CPI news on Wednesday.
This means that control is still in the hands of market bulls, and the daily trend of gold is still upward. Additionally, if you draw an upward channel on the daily timeframe, you will notice that global gold is trading just outside its upward channel and slightly above it.
