A brief analysis of the fundamentals:
Expectations for a 75 basis-point rate hike by the Federal Reserve cooled sharply as preliminary data showed mixed activity in the manufacturing and services sectors in July, as fears of a U.S. recession continued to mount. Affected by this, the U.S. dollar index accelerated its decline, with a drop of more than 60 points in the day, while spot gold rebounded strongly to refresh the recent high of $1,739. Concerns about recession and weak U.S. economic data have cooled expectations for the Fed to raise interest rates. Currently, the market is betting that the Fed will raise interest rates by 50 basis points in September instead of 75 basis points. Gold is expected to continue to usher in a rebound window after oversold.
