Vijay Valecha, chief investment officer, Century Financial, said yellow metal surged on Monday after facing a downward trend last week, as market participants reassessed the possibility of the Fed cutting the interest rates in the March 2024 meeting, adding on, hedge fund managers worldwide, closed their long positions in gold, putting further pressure on the yellow metal, however, are unwilling to take short positions.
“Looking ahead, market participants are maintaining their cautious stance, as though the inflation numbers tick lower, the US economy grew by a robust 3.3 per cent versus analyst expectation of 2 per cent, and a robust labour market,” he said.
From a technical perspective, he added that the gold price provides calm positive trades to move away from the $2,016.90 level, motivated by the positive overlapping signal provided by stochastic, waiting for more rise and visiting the $2,040 mark as the next main station on an intraday basis.
“Therefore, the bullish trend scenario will remain valid and active for the upcoming period,” he added.
