GOLD PRICE TRIMS PART OF OVERNIGHT GAINS AMID RISK-ON MOOD; US INFLATION DATA IN FOCUS
- Gold price pulls back from the vicinity of the monthly peak retested earlier this Tuesday.
- Bulls opt to lighten their bets amid a positive risk tone and ahead of the US inflation data.
- Geopolitical risks and bets for a 50-bps rate cut by the Fed should help limit the downside.
Gold price (XAU/USD) rallied more than 1% on Monday amid safe-haven flows on the back of concerns about a wider conflict in the Middle East and Ukraine's surprise offensive attack on Russia. Furthermore, dovish Federal Reserve (Fed) expectations kept the US Dollar (USD) bulls on the defensive and pushed the non-yielding yellow metal back closer to the monthly top during the Asian session on Tuesday.
That said, the upbeat market mood prompts some selling around the Gold price during the Asian session on Tuesday. Bulls also seem reluctant and prefer to wait for the release of the US inflation figures before positioning for any further appreciating move. Nevertheless, the commodity remains close to the all-time peak touched in July and seems poised to break through a short-term range held over the past month or so.
