Gold – XAU/USD – Daily Outlook
On Thursday, gold plunged to its weakest level in six months to trade at $1,247. Most of the selling came in response to escalating pressure from the trade war and the sentiments of higher U.S. interest rates which continues to weigh on gold. Nevertheless, we can expect a modest reversal in the near term. Price action is expected to retrace the decays back to 1263, the same level which earlier served as support.
