A brief analysis of the fundamentals:
On Tuesday (July 12), a fake CPI data for June circulated on major social media showing that inflation is still high, imitating the format of last month's CPI report, with revised dates and figures. Affected by the oolong data, spot gold repeatedly challenged the $1,740 mark, but finally failed to cross the mark, closing below $1,730, and finally closed down 0.43%. Today will usher in the real CPI data. According to the reaction of the major markets last night, if the CPI continues to rise, it is expected to form support for gold in the short term.
