Fed’s Dovish Signals Propel Gold to 10-Day Highs

By Camilo Botia

Gold prices surged to a 10-day high on Thursday, fuelled by hints from the Federal Reserve (Fed) of a dovish pivot and potential rate cuts next year. This move sent waves across the commodities market, with metals posing the biggest gains.

The catalyst for the rally was the Fed’s post-FOMC meeting statement, which signalled a potential end to its aggressive monetary tightening cycle. While interest rates remained unchanged for the third consecutive meeting, most Fed officials (17 out of 19) projected lower rates by the end of 2024. This dovish tilt sent shockwaves through the market, with investors racing to adjust their positions. Some analysts consider this extremely positive for gold prices as lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold and weaken the dollar, making it a more attractive investment.

The impact was immediate, with gold prices rising around $2,050 and more than 3% since Tuesday’s lows. Meanwhile, the dollar tumbled to a four-month low, further fuelling the gold rally. The Fed’s dovish pivot marks a significant shift in the market landscape, and its implications are far-reaching. Not only does it bode well for gold and other precious metals, but it also provides a much-needed boost to the broader commodities market.

With investors now looking for alternative investments in a lower-interest-rate environment, commodities could be poised for further gains in the months ahead. If gold prices rise, they will face two resistances at $2,079.39 and $2,144.61, monthly technical levels we have been monitoring since early this week.

However, if the price trades lower, it will encounter the weekly psychological barrier of $2,000 and the support of $1,983.30, a monthly technical level for gold. So far, with the RSI indicator, there is no signal the market is close to an overbought condition, so the price still has room to edge higher.
