What’s Driving the Market?
Just as we analyze technical resistance levels in equity markets, gold’s current chart shows visible selling pressure at higher levels. The US dollar index remaining strong and rising crude oil prices (surging past $111/barrel recently) following Middle East tensions have dulled the immediate appeal of precious metals. Furthermore, the market is heavily pricing in the RBI’s bi-monthly monetary policy decision. While interest rate pauses generally keep gold steady, elevated inflation fears could trigger further volatility.
