Market Overview
On Wednesday (December 14, Beijing time), during the Asian European session, spot gold fluctuated in a narrow range. At present, it is trading near 1810 US dollars/ounce. After the overnight US November CPI data was weaker than the market expectation and the previous value. The market generally strengthened the expectation that the Federal Reserve would slow down the pace of interest rate increase. The soaring gold price recovered the 200 day moving average and 1800 level and broke the resistance around the August high of 1807. The short-term bullish signals increased.
This trading day will usher in the Federal Reserve's interest rate resolution. The market generally expects that the Federal Reserve will only increase interest rates by 50 basis points, but the market expects that the Federal Reserve may only increase interest rates by 25 basis points in January next year, and the expectation before the CPI data in November is 50 basis points. This expectation bias provides further opportunities for gold prices to rise.
It should be reminded that investors also need to pay special attention to the speech of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. When the Federal Reserve's resolution was released last month, the gold price once rose from around 1649 to around 1669.
However, after Powell said that the terminal interest rate would be higher than expected, the gold price rose and fell by more than $30 to around $1635, and fell to around 1616 on the following trading day.

However, this week will see the non-farm payrolls report, there is no important economic data out on Tuesday, and the market wait-and-see sentiment is getting stronger.
On Monday, in OPEC + members unexpectedly cut production reignited market concerns about long-term inflation and sparked uncertainty about the Fed's response, the dollar index once up to the 103 mark, and then on a "vertical roller coaster", giving back all the gains of the day and once lost 102 mark, finally closed down 0.53% at 102.04; U.S. 10-year Treasury yields rose and then fell, as data showed that the U.S. economy continues to slow, it fell sharply in the U.S. session, and once to a low
