June 20th - Market analysts predict gold will remain volatile next week as investors await the release of the US core personal consumption expenditures (core PCE) price index for clues about the Federal Reserves interest rate path. Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management, stated, "With the Fed now appearing more accustomed to changing circumstances and increasingly sensitive to upcoming inflation data, every major economic data release will have an impact, but the core PCE will be a key event for both gold and interest rate markets, and next week will be highly data-dependent." Innes also noted that stronger-than-expected inflation readings could boost the dollar, push up yields, and increase the risk of gold prices testing the $4,000 per ounce level. Gold investors should prepare for increased volatility and be wary of potential further sell-offs.June 20th - According to the China Railway Shanghai Group Co., Ltd., during the recent Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the group transported 4.031 million passengers, setting a new record for single-day passenger volume during the holiday.

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.
