💡 XAUUSD: The upward momentum continues
World gold broke the resistance level of 2,050 USD/ounce thanks to expectations of loosening monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) after somewhat weak US economic reports were published.
Although prices have recovered, many analysts are concerned that gold may encounter difficulties. After each time the precious metal breaks the resistance level, the market quickly receives a sell-off trigger for profit-taking by investors. Profit-taking could push prices back into the range that has been in place for some time now.
Gold Price Forecast:
Last week, 14 analysts participated in Kitco News's gold survey. The surprising thing is that no one predicts gold prices will decrease in the near future. The survey showed that 79% of analysts believe that gold prices will increase in the near future, while the remaining 21% think that gold prices will move sideways.
Meanwhile, 175 votes in Kitco's online survey. 77 retail investors (44%) expect gold to increase in the near future. Another 43 people (25%) predict the price will decrease, while the remaining 55 people (31%) think the gold price will go sideways.

In a recent note, MKS PAMP Metals Strategist Nicky Shiels said that the recent inflation data said nothing. She said there wasn't enough data to declare an end to disinflation and the Fed probably wouldn't cut interest rates.
