Early in the second week of September, Gold is correcting. However, there aren’t many active bears on the market as investors are still unsure whether the global economy may quickly find an impulse for growth and solve all current conflicts.
Lack of dynamics in the US-China trade talks keeps long-term investors in suspense. So far, the parties haven’t been able even to renew negotiations, not to mention any progress. Moreover, the American rhetoric relating to its own monetary policy remains uncertain as well. On one hand, macroeconomic numbers don’t force the regulator to cut the rate, but on the other hand, the White House’s lobby is too much to somehow avoid it.
As a result, the USD gets under pressure, while Gold gets a chance to reach stability without any reasons to plummet.
Meanwhile, physical demand for Gold among global Central Banks remains quite significant, thus providing support to the precious metal.
In the H4 chart, XAUUSD is forming another descending wave. By now, it has rebounded from 1526.50 to the downside and is currently moving inside the downtrend towards 1496.00.
