According to Russian reports, the next trilateral meeting between Russia and Ukraine may not be held in Geneva.Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic said on Wednesday that the rift between the Federal Reserve and the White House has begun to erode public trust in the central banks apolitical position. This is one of the most direct warnings yet from a senior monetary policy official about the consequences of Trumps hawkish stance on the Fed. In his farewell address before retiring from the Atlanta Fed at the end of February, Bostic said his colleagues within the Fed system remain committed to keeping their work separate from politics. "But my visits over the past few months have made it clear that the legal and verbal battles surrounding the central bank have led people from all walks of life to question the Feds independence, which is a serious concern." Bostic is not the only Fed official this year to emphasize the importance of central bank independence, but no one has warned as directly as he did on Wednesday that the current controversies could undermine public trust in the institution.The vote count showed that the French government survived its first vote of no confidence in parliament.February 26 - According to the Cuban Embassy in the United States, the Cuban Ministry of the Interior issued a statement saying that when a border patrol vessel approached a U.S. speedboat for identification checks, the crew of the speedboat opened fire on the Cuban personnel, injuring the Cuban patrol vessels commander.

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.
