This month we have major event of President Trump meeting North Korean lead Kim Jong Yun. We had too many twists and turn in past regarding this summit. First Korea threatened to nuke US, Then US threatened back with nukes and more sanctions.
We had North and South Korea’s compromise when they finally closed war chapter and Kim Jong Yun visited South Korea first time since war in 1950. Korean compromise came as a shock as Kim visited South Korea without any announcement or hint. He just visited and tried to solve things. But things are yet to be solved on the ground.
We have Fed meeting this month deciding if interest rate should go up this time. We are certain a small cut can come but main highlight would be Fed’s outlook. If fed shows some kind of soft tone on interest rate as they already shown then gold price should not face any problem going upwards. If fed decided to pace interest rate then we may see some trouble in gold prices again.
We are brewing another trade ware between United States and European Union. We need to see outcome of that in upcoming days. As of now we are looking trouble relations between US and its main allies. Even Canada has hit back after President Trump imposed tariffs on aluminium and steel. Now we need to see how US reacts and what Trump decides.
Monthly resistance stands at 1367$, Once traders break and close above this level we may see non stop rally upto 1420$- 1500$. Even Higher levels are not ruled out as we will be entering in yearly trade and we may close it in December only. Once market break 1367$ we should be certain that we have seen this year’s bottom and now journey should be up only towards 1400$ and 1500$.
While on downside we have limited room upto 1250$, If traders break and close below this level then we may face emergency selling upto 1200$- 1160$. Despite limited downside we wont advice anyone trading without stoploss.
