XAU/USD Forecast And Current trend: : Gold prices are showing ambiguous dynamics during the Asian session, consolidating at 1900.00.
The day before, the instrument made another attempt to grow, and renewed local highs since the beginning of the year, having received support from the weak positions of USD and a decrease in the yield of US Treasury bonds. However, XAU/USD (Gold )failed to consolidate at the new levels, and by the close of the daytime session, the pair had lost all the previously gained advantage.
Investors closed part of their long positions on the instrument before the publication of updated data on the dynamics of US GDP for Q1 2021 and statistics on the dynamics of orders for durable goods. It is assumed that strong macroeconomic indicators may put additional pressure on the US Fed in the issue of curtailing support measures for the national economy.
