Gold Forex Rally Pauses Before PCE and Warsh

Conclusion: The gold-forex rally has paused, not disappeared. Spot gold eased to about $4,624.87 per ounce at 08:08 GMT on August 25 after reaching a more-than-three-month high, as profit-taking and a firmer dollar arrived before U.S. PCE and the Fed Chair's Jackson Hole remarks.

Verified market snapshot

Reuters reported that gold slipped 0.6% in Tuesday trading, while December U.S. futures fell 0.4% to $4,681.50. The prior session's rally had been supported by a weaker dollar, Treasury-market concerns and technical buying.

What XAU/USD traders should separate

✓ A USD move changes the metal's price for non-dollar buyers.

✓ Real yields affect the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset.

⚠ A technical target is not a verified future price. The reaction must be observed after the data and speech.
