This week, there are no notable pre-scheduled events that might impact the currency exchange rate.
Some financial news outlets note the upcoming "speech" of Jerome Powell on Thursday at 19:00 GMT. However, the head of the central bank is set to participate in a panel discussion at a research conference not give a speech. It is not normal for the head of the Fed to make notable comments at such minor events.
XAU/USD short-term forecast
An extension of the ongoing decline is set to look for support in previously notable levels like the 1,940.00 mark and the 1,932.25 level. Below these levels, round price levels could impact the price, before the 1,910.25 support would be reached.
However, in the case of a potential recovery resistance could be found in the 1,956.60/1,957.10 range and the descending 50-hour simple moving average. Higher above, take into account the 1,970.00 mark and the 100-hour simple moving average.
