GOLD - Waiting for the trend to break and continue to go up

Last night, the price of gold experienced unpredictable fluctuations due to China's economic growth in the second quarter of 2023, which was lower than the expected market growth of 6.9%. As a result, the precious metals market experienced some downward pressure.

Currently, gold prices remain above $1,950 an ounce, but analysts suggest that various factors need to be in place for the gold market to experience a significant breakthrough.

The gold market is highly sensitive to the Fed rate outlook, and it is too early to predict a rally in gold prices despite a recent increase of over $30.
