A brief analysis of the fundamentals:
On Friday (August 12), the market lacked the influence of economic data, and the fundamental outlook of gold was still complicated. Geopolitical tensions and the Federal Reserve remained highly vigilant about inflation. Spot gold was consolidating around 1800. Inflation in the United States fell sharply in July, but the Fed's monetary policy is still tightening. Central bank officials including Fed Chairman Powell have suggested that the pace of US interest rate hikes will not stop too soon, and gold prices still need further news guidance in the future
