[Market Evening] The International Gold Price Continues to Show Counter-Intuitive Logic, and the FED Shows Its Trump Card Prematurely
Michael McCarthy, chief strategist at Tiger Brokers in Australia, said the gold market was supported by underlying safe-haven demand and inflation-hedging buying, but faced with selling pressure from a higher interest rate environment, gold prices were in a dilemma. "Gold has been range-bound (despite the big news) for weeks...it's daunting for traders right now to figure out what exactly is going to push gold out of that range."

As of 17:00 (GMT+8), spot gold fell 0.135% to $1831.11/oz, and spot silver fell 0.383% to $21.575/oz.
Comment: Spot gold weakened slightly, paring some of the overnight gains. Overnight, the Federal Reserve further accelerated interest rate hikes as scheduled, and the gold market was exhausted, closing sharply higher by more than 1.4%. The market has almost fully priced in two consecutive interest rate hikes by the Fed by 75 basis points, and the fact that the market is buying and selling suggests that the gold market is expected to continue to have a counter-intuitive reaction, and there may be a short squeeze.
Suggestion: short spot gold at 1832.30, and the target point is 1804.50.
As of 17:00 (GMT+8), the US dollar index rose 0.449% to 105.09, EUR/USD fell 0.532% to 1.03919; GBP/USD fell 0.659% to 1.20892; AUD/USD fell 0.385% to 0.69820; USD /JPY was up 0.022% at 133.831.
Comment: The euro against the dollar continues to pay attention to the support near 1.0350. If the top crosses 1.05, it will test the resistance near the middle rail of the Bollinger Band at 1.06. From the daily chart, the GBP/USD is still in a weak downward trajectory as a whole. USD/JPY still needs to pay attention to the competition of 135. If it does not break, be careful to guard against the risk of a larger correction. Below is the key support level at 133.00.
Suggestion: the euro against the dollar is short at 1.03910, and the target point is 1.03510.
As of 17:00 (GMT+8), WTI rose 0.222% to $113.681/barrel; Brent rose 0.384% to $117.095/barrel.
Comment: The International Energy Agency (IEA) released its first forecast of oil market supply and demand in 2023 on Wednesday (June 15), and some insiders in OPEC also revealed the wind to prepare for its demand forecast released in July. But according to current news, the two sides appear to have divergent views on the oil market in 2023, especially on demand.
Suggestion: long US crude oil at 113.500, the target point is 116.830.
