The indicator is currently in deeply oversold territory relative to price action, providing new upward momentum and pushing prices further towards new historical resistance levels. This strong performance is attributed to the continued action of dynamic support, with gold prices currently trading above the 50-period exponential moving average (EMA50). With the short-term bullish trend dominating, gold prices are moving along the support trendline of this trend, further increasing the likelihood of continued gains in subsequent trading sessions.On January 27th, Amundi, Europes largest asset manager, stated that the deepening international isolation of the United States is prompting many investors to reduce their holdings of dollar assets and shift towards gold. Vincent Motiejunas, Chief Investment Officer of Amundi, said that the weakening of the dollars status also stems from the massive US fiscal deficit and the uncertainty surrounding future Federal Reserve policies. He stated, "We have consistently allocated to gold for the past two and a half years and believe this trend will continue because, in the long term, gold effectively hedges against currency devaluation risks and is an ideal tool for maintaining purchasing power." Motiejunas pointed out that current gold demand mainly comes from institutional investors such as central banks and sovereign wealth funds. He analyzed that Trumps continued pressure on traditional allies will eventually come at a price. Allies cannot tolerate this bullying forever, and new alliances are forming. Europes shift in stance on the Greenland issue is significant, indicating that pressure may give rise to new forms of resistance. Global funds are forced to seek new wealth reserves. "The key question is, where to go after selling off the dollar?" Motiejunas admitted, "Gold has become a realistic option."January 27th, Futures News: Economies.com analysts latest view: WTI crude oil prices retreated in the recent trading day, attempting to find higher support levels as a technical bottom to help accumulate the upward momentum needed for a price recovery. This pullback has placed prices under pressure from the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA50); meanwhile, the main bullish trend driving the market in the short term remains intact, with prices currently moving along the secondary trendline supporting this trend. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has entered extremely oversold territory, with a bullish divergence pattern becoming increasingly apparent, coupled with a bullish crossover signal, which could pave the way for a subsequent rebound.

Forecast for Gold Price: XAU/USD consolidates above $2,000 as investors await initial US S&P PMI data

During the Asian session, the price of gold (XAU / USD) is oscillating above the psychological resistance of $2,000.00. After a gradual increase, the price of gold has leveled off near $2,005.00 as investors await the release of preliminary S&P PMI data for the United States.

 

S&P500 futures have added some gains during the Asian session following three consecutive declines. As a result of Elon Musk's price-cutting frenzy, Tesla's revenue projections were gloomy, which dampened market sentiment. Near 101.77, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has extended its correction. The USD Index has been consolidating in a range between 100.90 and 102.03 for the past several trading sessions. Therefore, a move that exceeds the previously specified limit will be considered decisive.

 

The subdued USD index weighs on US Treasury yields as well. The demand for U.S. government bonds has increased as weekly unemployment claims have increased. The number of individuals claiming unemployment benefits rose to 245K, exceeding the consensus estimate of 240K. This indicated a softening in the labor market and bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will not raise interest rates after the monetary policy meeting in May.

 

In the future, the publication of the preliminary US S&P PMI data will determine the impact of the Fed's rate hikes on the scope of economic activity. According to projections, the Manufacturing PMI and Services PMI will decline to 49.0 and 51.5, respectively. A preliminary PMI reading that is weaker than anticipated could impact heavily on the U.S. dollar.
