Technical Analysis

As the second half of 2023 unfolds, gold's fate hangs in the balance. With a surprising 6.49% surge in the first half, reaching $2048.45/oz, will it weather changing economic tides and central bank strategies in the latter part of the year?

This was the year when central banks intensified their battle against inflation, facing it with a tight monetary policy centered around raising interest rates.

Following yesterday’s rally in a short-squeeze, gold prices continued to refresh two-month highs seen around $1,846 earlier in a largely quiet session on Thursday. On Wednesday, the precious metal saw the largest daily gains since November, deriving support from a downside correction in US Treasury yields that pushed the dollar lower.
