The price for gold jumped after the Fed rate hike and touched the 2,080.00 mark. However, the event was followed by a decline on Friday, as markets expected a possible additional banking sector bail out. On Monday, there was no bail out and gold resumed to surge. By mid-day, the price had almost reached back to 2,030.00.

Economic Calendar Analysis



This week, the US Consumer Price Index data release on Wednesday at 12:30 GMT is set to impact the financial markets.

On Thursday, watch out for the US Producer Price Index publication at 12:30 GMT. In addition, at the same time the US weekly Unemployment Claims numbers will be out.

XAU/USD short-term forecast

The ongoing surge of the metal's price could encounter resistance in the 50-hour simple moving average near 2,030.00 and other round price levels. The 2,050.00, 2,060.00 and 2,080.00 levels have acted as resistance during the second part of past week's trading.

On the other hand, a decline is almost certainly going to look for support in the 2,000.00 mark, which has impacted the price since mid-April.
