Sentiment for gold remains neutral as both bulls and bears are playing tug of war. Bulls are playing inflation and safe haven cards while bears are playing rising rates cards. With the FOMC meeting out of the way for this month, traders are awaiting the most recent inflationary data. The US Dollar retracted after the Fed Chairman stated that “the American economy is very strong and is well-positioned to handle tighter monetary policy”.
