investors were waiting for economic data from china, the us and the federal reserve chairman jerome powell's speech to know how interest rates would pan out.
naeem aslam, chief investment officer, zaye capital markets, said the main focus for traders on gold prices is the us consumer confidence data and the fed chairman's speech on wednesday.
“it is pretty clear that the fed chairman is likely to send the market the very same signal that he has been sending, which is that there is more than one interest rate hike on the table for this year,” said aslam.
in terms of price, he said, the most important level that everyone is looking at is $1,900.“the bulls are hoping that the price will continue to remain above this price point. if the price fails to reach this support level, then it is likely that we will see the price moving towards the $1,850 mark,” he said.
