Basic analysis:
On Friday (August 26), US Federal Reserve Chairman Powell made a "hawkish" speech at the annual meeting in Jackson Hole, indicating that he was determined to exchange the slowdown of economic growth for the cooling of inflation and would not relax the policy prematurely. This speech echoed the remarks made by other US Federal Reserve officials earlier. The U.S. index recovered the 108 level, and the spot gold showed a double whammy. At the beginning of Powell's speech, the short-term decline of the gold price expanded, and then it rebounded sharply and plunged again, finally falling below 1740 US dollars per ounce. With the landing of hawkish expectations of the Federal Reserve, gold may fall in the short term, but it is still necessary to guard against retaliatory rebound after the interest is exhausted.
