Fundamental Analysis

* Gold Glimmers: Gold remains in demand as market uncertainty grows, driven by weaker U.S. manufacturing data on Tuesday, which may lead to a downward revision of the U.S. interest rate outlook. The NY Empire State Manufacturing Index dropped to -11.4 in October, a steep fall from September’s 11.5 increase and well below the expected 2.3. This is the index’s lowest reading in five months, following a brief recovery in August. Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are also contributing to the increased appeal of gold

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakout: : Gold price was traded higher following prior breakout above the previous resistance level 2675.00. MACD which illustrate diminishing bearish momentum signal suggest the commodity to likely further extend its gains.

* Resistance and Support: If the bullish momentum persists, there’s a strong likelihood that the price will potentially head towards the level 2725.00. Conversely, a potential reversal is also to be expected and the price could head back towards 2625.00 after it breach back below 2675.00

Potential Risks

Looking ahead, investors will be keeping a close watch on key U.S. data releases, especially Retail Sales, as these could offer more clarity on the economic outlook. Additionally, developments in the Middle East will remain a key area of focus.
