Fed Rate Cut Odds Dip Below 59% for December

According to CME FedWatch, the chances of a 0.25% interest rate cut at the Federal Reserve’s December meeting have fallen below 59%. This dropped from 62% the previous day and over 65% a week ago.

Additionally, investors are closely watching President-elect Donald Trump’s choices for his cabinet positions. Rising geopolitical tensions are boosting demand for safe-haven assets like Gold. Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and increasing strains between Russia and Ukraine are contributing to this heightened demand.

From a technical perspective, the downtrend will likely resume if Gold remains below the 38.2% Fibonacci ($2,635). In this scenario, Gold prices could retest the $2,600 support. Furthermore, if the selling pressure exceeds $2,600, the downtrend can extend to $2,560.

On the other hand, the uptick momentum could extend to the 50% Fibonacci retracement level if XAU/USD bulls pull the prices above the 38.2% Fibonacci.

Please note that the market outlook remains bearish as long as the prices are below the %50 Fibonacci level ($2,665), backed by the 4-hour chart 100-period simple moving average.
