Gold: Bearish below 1712

A brief analysis of the fundamentals:

On Tuesday (September 13), the US CPI in August greatly exceeded expectations. After the unexpected CPI data was released, the market's expectations for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 75 basis points in September continued to soar, and at the same time began to discuss the US interest rate hike by 100 basis points. The dollar index rose sharply, approaching the 110 mark during the session, and the spot gold dived sharply during the session, and once fell below the $1,700 mark, and finally closed down 1.30%. With the rekindling of interest rate fears, major risk assets ushered in a new round of looting. Under the high pressure of the strengthening of the US index and US bond yields, the price of gold has a lot of bad luck in the short term.
