Commerzbank's latest research suggests that the gold market may be stuck around the $1,950 mark for the rest of the summer as the Federal Reserve has yet to complete its interest rate hike. The updated forecast was released as August futures for gold traded at $1,959 a 0.25% decrease for the day. After reaching a three-week high last week, the gold market is seeing some modest profit-taking activities.
In their latest research report, Nguyen noted that hawkish monetary policies from the Federal Reserve will continue to be the dominant force for gold in the near future. Markets are anticipating a 25 basis point rate hike by the Federal Reserve by the end of this month, and forecasts from June suggest that the central bank may raise rates again after the summer.

The next bearish target is to push the futures contract below the strong technical support level of $1,900. The first resistance levels seen are at $1,968 and $1,975 respectively. The first support levels seen are at $1,954 and $1,950 respectively.

Year-on-year, headline sales rose by 1.5%. Core sales, which exclude car sales, also fell short of expectations, rising by 0.2% compared to the expected 0.4% increase.
However, the report's control group, which excludes cars, gasoline, building materials, and food services, exceeded expectations, rising by 0.6% in the previous month. Economists were looking for a 0.3% increase.
