GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - WEEK 11 - 2024 (March 11 - March 15]

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

This week, international gold prices have continuously increased sharply, from 2,079 USD/oz to 2,195 USD/oz and closing at 2,178 USD/oz.

The reason why gold prices increased sharply is partly because the US economy created 275,000 jobs in February 2024, higher than the expected level of 198,000 jobs, but there was a significant downward adjustment in the number of jobs. in January 2024 and December 2023. Specifically, the number of jobs in January was adjusted down to 229,000 jobs, compared to the initial estimate of 353,000 jobs. At the same time, the number of jobs in December was revised down to 290,000 jobs, down from the previous estimate of 330,000 jobs. This raises concerns that February's employment data may also be adjusted downward in the next employment data release. What is more worrying is that the unemployment rate in the US still increased sharply in February, increasing to 3.9%, from 3.7% in January.

The US labor market seems to be starting to absorb the blow from the FED's continuous monetary tightening. This causes the market to increase expectations that the FED will start cutting interest rates next June.
Notably, although US inflation still increased slightly more than expected in recent data releases, it has decreased sharply compared to its peak in 2022. In a hearing before the US Congress this week Today, FED Chairman Powell also expressed satisfaction with recent inflation data, but still wants more data to confirm that inflation is approaching the 2% target before the FED begins cutting interest rates. for the first time this year.

Therefore, the February consumer price index (CPI) announced next Tuesday will attract special attention from the market.

If CPI increases stronger than expected, it may reduce expectations that the FED will cut interest rates in June, and at the same time cause gold investors to take profits when gold prices are at a record high. On the contrary, gold prices will increase even more.
Although gold prices are predicted to remain in a strong upward trend in the medium and long term, it should also be noted that gold prices may be sensitive to short-term profit-taking, causing gold prices to adjust before continue to increase.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Technically, on the monthly chart, the gold price is in wave 5 of the Elliott wave model, and according to the extended fibo milestones, the gold price can reach the Target at 2300 (fibo 361.😎 to 2600) respectively. fibo 461.😎. Besides the resistance levels according to the fibonacci expansion, we do not have any further basis to predict where the record high price of gold will be, except waiting for time to answer.
This week, the weekly fluctuation range is up to more than 100, the trading plan for next week will consider selling around the 2300 round resistance mark, buying if the price adjusts to the 2100 resistance mark, accepting stop loss. 5 prices per strategy.
