The CME Fedwatch Tool sees a 97.0% chance for no interest rate changes in the upcoming Fed meeting on March 19. The chances of a rate cut at the May 7 meeting currently stand at 39.5%. Technical Analysis: CPI could trigger domino effect in US yieldsRelentless – that is wording that comes to mind when thinking about both the headlines on tariffs and the move in Gold this week. The Monday dip was bought eagerly, while Bullion now makes its way to test the monthly cap around $2,930. Once that level breaks, a move toward a new all-time high is back in the cards. Gold is back above the $2,900 round level and, from an intraday technical perspective, it is back above the daily Pivot Point at $2,906. Gold is on its way to the R1 resistance near $2,931, converging with last week’s highs. Once through there, the intraday R2 resistance at $2,947 comes into focus on the upside ahead of the all-time high of $2,956. On the downside, the Wednesday Pivot Point stands at $2,906. In case that level breaks, look at the S1 support around $2,890. The S2 support at $2,864, coinciding with the February 12 low, should avoid any further downturn.

Gold has broken clearly back above a major long-term trendline and is attempting to break above the (red) 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $2,661. These are bullish signs.The precious metal’s short-term trend is bullish, and given the maxim that “the trend is your friend,” the odds favor a continuation higher. The next target to the upside lies at $2,686, the September 26 high. That said, the precious metal is in a downtrend on a medium-term trend, raising risks for the outlook. It is in an uptrend on a long-term basis, however, which supports the bullish shorter-term view.

The XAU/USD trades at $2,650, up 0.69%.Bullion’s decline toward a two-month low of $2,536 can mainly be attributed to investors booking profits after President Donald Trump's victory in the US elections.

Gold price stays firm for the second consecutive day so far, drawing support from the recent retracement in the US Treasury bond yields across the curve, fuelling the corrective downside in the US Dollar (USD) against its major currency rivals.
