Gold Price News and Forecast: XAU/USD (mostly) hinges on Trump´s electoral chances


Gold Price Analysis: XAU/USD pressured to break below $1,900

XAU/USD is open to start the week lower by some 0.10% despite a slide in the greenback on Friday by 0.20%. The market is range bound and trendless with election and stimulus uncertainty whipsawing prices from day-to-day.

Gold Weekly Forecast: XAU/USD (mostly) hinges on Trump´s electoral chances

"Putting pen to paper" – such commentary from Washington about a fiscal stimulus deal has been pushing gold prices higher, while pessimism about a deal held it back. With time running out toward Election Day, the next bout of cash to fuel gold prices mostly depends on the outcome.
