Thoughts on Gold's short-term range heading into year-end
Been watching gold closely with all the macro noise. I'm giving it about a 60% chance we see XAU/USD test the $1980-$2000 level again before year-end. The continued geopolitical tensions and the uncertain rate hike path from the Fed seem to provide a floor, even if there's profit-taking around current levels. Conversely, a strong hawkish signal could push it back towards $1930 with 40% odds. Just my read on the probabilistic scenarios.
Interesting breakdown of probabilities. I'm not so sure geopolitics will be the primary driver this late in the year. The Fed's stance seems to be the more immediate catalyst for gold's short-term movements.
