Gold

FOMC concluded its meeting and decided to raise interest rate by 0.25% as expected. But market was expecting dovish market outlook from Fed which did not happen. FOMC chairman Powell released statement after 1 hour of interest rate announcement. He said Fed will look to increase rate two times in 2019 instead three. This was first soft stance from Fed after almost 2 years. 

But after watching weaker than expected NFP data and concerning trade war between US and China. Market was hoping more dovish outlook from Fed. This disappoint Dow Jones Index which crashed nearly 1000 points from its peak of 24100. Spot gold also crashed from 1258$ to 1243$ within hours of announcement. Before crashing gold provided us good profit as our buy signal target achieved last night before Fed meeting.

Fed has concluded this year’s statement and I dont expect any surprise till Fed’s next meeting. But new dovish addition in Fed’s commentary could be vital for gold prices and we may see some other changed next year.

Falling stock market is holding gold prices on respectable level for now. Currently gold price trading at 1245$. Good support in this precious metal stands at 1238$. If market break and sustain below 1238$. Then expect good pressure till 1230$- 1225$.

Resistance in gold chart stands at 1253$. If traders break and sustain above 1253$. Then expect good buying in xauusd till 1260$- 1266$.

Conclusion: Comex Gold trend is flat to weak for now. Wait for market to turn positive and buy. I do not recommend any selling on these levels for now.
