Soon Bullish Rally for Gold

The winter is coming, and risky markets expect a rally to come with it. Will this December be bullish for stocks, crypto, and gold? A pack of news will surely help you out.

Events of the day:

12:00 GMT+2, CPI Flash Estimate y/y

15:15 GMT+2, ADP Non-Farm Employment Change

20:30 GMT+2, Fed Chair Powell Speaks

Gold analysis ahead of Powell’s speech

The metal looks bullish as the US Federal Reserve is likely to show dovish signs starting from today’s Fed chair Jerome Powell speech. If so, the USD will decrease, gaining momentum on its way down. On the daily chart, the US dollar index is near the 200-period MA, so a breakout will mean a lot to the market.

Therefore, gold may soon become extremely bullish, breaking above the resistance of $1765 and reaching $1785. Buyers may need to wait for the breakout before opening a trade.  

 You need to know this:

• Bank of America: The US economy will enter a recession around the middle of next year, and this will push the Fed to cut rates at the end of 2023.
• The BoE governor Bailey: No discussion with the government about the timing and pace of BOE asset sales.
• Annual CPI in Australia is significantly lower than expected (6.9% actual vs. 7.6% forecast). However, the AUD neither soared nor plunged.
• The stock market’s Fear & Greed index is in the greed zone (61/100) as the US500 index declines for the third day in a row.
• Bitcoin broke through the descending triangle and reached $17K today. The cryptocurrency market is rising ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s speech.
• South Africa’s unemployment rate declined for a third consecutive quarter. It’s now 32.9% vs. 33.9% the quarter before.
• Bloomberg forecasts that China will gradually relax Covid containment measures over the next seven months, resulting in a full reopening by mid-2023
