Gold Price Weakness Keeps RSI Out of Overbought Territory
Bullion struggles to retain the advance from the start of the week as US President Donald Trump announces that ‘together with our strong ally, the United Kingdom, we have reached the first, historic trade deal since Liberation Day,’ and the waning threat of a trade war may curb the appeal of gold as President Trump insists that there’s ‘many more to come.’

In turn, the price of gold may may continue to give back the rebound from the monthly low ($3202) as there appears to be a shift in investor confidence, but the recent weakness in bullion may turn out to be temporary as it remains an alternative to fiat-currencies.
With that said, the price of gold may continue to track the positive slope in the 50-Day SMA ($3121) as it still holds above the moving average, but failure to hold above the indicator may signal a potential change in trend.

Gold and S&P 500 analysis: What now after Warsh’s hawkish speech?
The dollar surged across the board after the Fed Chair Kevin Warsh surprised with a hawkish-leaning speech at the Jackson Hole summit.
