The gold price struggled to build on the day before's moderately successful advance higher from the $1,707 region and experienced fresh selling pressure on Thursday. The XAUUSD fell during the early North American session and reached its lowest point since August 2021 as a result of the intraday decline. Bears are still looking for a sustained breach below the $1,700 threshold.

 

The likelihood of a more aggressive Federal Reserve policy tightening caused the US dollar to resume its unrelenting ascent, reaching a new two-decade high. The dollar-denominated gold was under severe downward pressure as a result of the higher USD, which was considered to be a crucial cause. The headline US CPI increased to 9.1 percent in June, the highest level since November 1981, according to the US Labor Department. The information made a strong argument for yet another massive Fed rate rise and further supported the dollar.

 

After Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic indicated on Wednesday that everything is on the table to stop the ongoing rise in inflationary pressures, the rates on US Treasury bonds increased. The benchmark 10-year US government bond yield was quickly pushed back around the 3.0 percent level as the markets began pricing in the potential of an unprecedented 100 basis point rate rise later this month. Increased US Treasury bond yields also had a role in reducing demand for gold's lack of income.

 

The US Producer Price Index (PPI) report on Thursday, which significantly outperformed forecasts, confirmed hawkish Fed views. According to data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the gauge for final demand items increased to 11.3 percent on an annual basis in June, defying consensus predictions that it would have slightly decreased to 10.7 percent from 10.9 percent in May. An increase in US Weekly Initial Jobless Claims to their highest level since November 2021 was somewhat countered by this, to a greater extent.

 

For the time being, the price of gold has been able to maintain itself above the $1,700 level, which is considered as a support level and, if broken strongly, as a new trigger for bearish traders. The XAUUSD might then continue to decline and test the low point from September 2021, which is in the $1,787–$1,786 range. The negative trend might continue all the way to the 2021 annual low, which is about $1,677–1,676.

 

On the other hand, the overnight swing high, located around $1,745 currently appears to operate as a powerful immediate barrier in front of the supply zone between $1,749 and $1,752. A rise towards the $1,767–$1,770 strong horizontal support breakpoint might be initiated by further strength above, at which time bulls may try to retake the $1,800 round-figure level.
