On October 17th, Israeli Defense Minister Katz posted on social media that he had instructed the Israeli military to establish physical markers along the so-called "Yellow Line" in the Gaza Strip (to which the Israeli army withdrew under the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement) to ensure that the Israeli armys control boundary is "clearly visible" and to warn Hamas fighters and Gaza residents that any crossing of the line or attempted crossing will be met with fire. According to the relevant provisions of the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, after the ceasefire takes effect, the Israeli army will redeploy to the so-called "Yellow Line" in the Gaza Strip, but will still control approximately 53% of the Gaza Strip.UK gilt yields extended their decline, with the 30-year yield falling to its lowest level since July 2.Italys FTSE MIB index fell 2.00% during the day.Indian Trade Minister: Despite signing a free trade agreement, Indian exports still face obstacles in South Korea and Japan.Germanys DAX30 index opened at 23,894.01 points, down 378.92 points, or 1.56%, on October 17 (Friday); Britains FTSE 100 index opened at 9,311.60 points, down 124.49 points, or 1.32%, on October 17 (Friday); Frances CAC40 index opened at 8,068.39 points, down 120.20 points, or 1.47%, on October 17 (Friday); The STOXX 50 index opened on October 17 (Friday) down 76.21 points, or 1.35%, to 5,575.80 points; the Spanish IBEX 35 index opened on October 17 (Friday) down 91.88 points, or 0.59%, to 15,533.42 points; the Italian FTSE MIB index opened on October 17 (Friday) down 739.18 points, or 1.74%, to 41,635.00 points.

Gold price prediction: XAU/USD slips to $1,690 on Fed forecasts; US retail sales expected

Gold price (XAU/USD) has adopted a downward trend after falling below Wednesday's minimum of $1,693.67. The precious metal is falling nearing $1,690.00 as bears take control of rising probabilities for a massive Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike in the near future.

 

Earlier symptoms of weariness have dissipated as a result of Tuesday's higher-than-anticipated US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Despite declining gasoline costs, the headline US CPI was announced at 8.3%, which was higher than the 8.2% prediction. The investment community believed that inflation had begun to respond to the Federal Reserve's (Fed) raising interest rates and that a succession of declining price pressures would soon enable the Fed to adopt a 'neutral' stance.

 

However, a US inflation report that exceeded forecasts demonstrates that the road to a neutral monetary policy is far from complete. Moreover, predictions of a one percent rate increase are currently ascendant.

 

In today's session, the US Retail Sales report will be of paramount importance. The economic data estimates do not indicate any improvement in retail demand. This could be the outcome of a fall in consumer confidence in the economy.

 

The gold price has experienced a precipitous decline after demonstrating a textbook-style test and the collapse of a consolidation pattern. On an hourly scale, the consolidation formed within the region of $1,697.12-1,709.62. At $1,698.70, the yellow metal is trading below the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which increases the downside filters.
