Gold Price Prediction – Gold Consolidates After Breaking Down as Momentum Turns Negative
Gold prices moved lower and are consolidating on Monday after tumbling on Friday as the dollar gained traction. The ECB and the Federal Reserve met last week and are on diverging paths as the Fed continues to raise rates and normalize. Higher U.S. interest rates are making the dollar more attractive and gold prices more expensive in other currencies. As long as the dollar continues to make headway, gold prices will have a difficult time gaining ground. The ECB on the other hand, kept rates unchanged but discussed the phasing out of their quantitative easing. QE will be reduced by half in September and will phase out completely as of December 2018. Just because QE will be terminated does not mean that the ECB will begin to increase interest rates.
