GOLD PRICE FORECAST: XAUUSD TO BREAK ABOVE $1,895 ON ESCALATION OF GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS – STANDARD CHARTERED

Gold has held key support at $1,775-$1,800 thus far. The yellow metal could break above the $1,895 resistance on escalation of geopolitical tensions, strategists at Standard Chartered report.

XAUUSD TO PLUNGE TOWARDS $1,675 ON A DROP UNDER $1,775

“Geopolitical uncertainty and elevated worries of policy mistakes are likely to continue to be supportive, and any escalation on either worry could see gold breaking above the $1,875-$1,895 resistance, with a target near $1,960, especially if USD strength starts to slow.”

“A break below $1,775 would risk a positioning led sell-off towards $1,675.”
