Gold price remains on backfoot on tempered Fed rate-cut bets
Gold price remains under pressure as sticky US CPI data suggests interest rates will stay high.
Surging rental and healthcare costs drive price pressures in the US economy.
The US Dollar extends its upside amid a risk-off market sentiment, further weighing on Gold.
Gold price (XAU/USD) continues its five-day losing streak on Wednesday as hot United States inflation data suggests the Federal Reserve (Fed) will hold back from cutting interest rates at its monetary policy meeting in May. The opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets, such as Gold, has risen as the Fed is expected to keep interest rates at their current level for a longer period.
Gold price prints a fresh two-month low below $1,990. The precious metal witnesses an intense sell-off after surrendering the psychological support of $2,000. The Yellow Metal is expected to face more downside as a breakdown of the Symmetrical Triangle chart pattern seems confirmed due to wider bearish tick formation on Tuesday.
The short-term appeal has turned bearish as the 20 and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) have turned down. The Gold price is expected to find support near the 200-day EMA, which trades around $1,970.
The 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) has slipped below 40.00 for the first time in more than four months. More downside looks likely amid an absence of oversold and divergence signals.
