Gold and silver prices rise as the weaker U.S. dollar index and dip in U.S. Treasury yields attract futures traders and bargain hunters, while anxieties build over upcoming speeches from the Fed and ECB on future monetary policy direction and the potential shift in the Fed's inflation goal.
Gold prices are slightly up and silver prices have hit a three-week high due to short covering and bargain hunting, with silver seeing significant improvement in its technical posture.
Gold has found support at the 50-Week EMA, suggesting consolidation and a potential target of $2000, but breaking below $1900 could have negative implications for the gold market; the bond markets and interest rates should be monitored to determine gold's future direction, and caution is advised due to the end of summer and the absence of major players in the market.
Gold price is aiming to sustain above $1,920.00 as pressure builds on the US Dollar and Treasury yields, with the upcoming labor market data playing a crucial role in guiding the Federal Reserve's policy action.

Gold prices slipped to a one-week low due to rising bond yields and a stronger U.S. dollar, as investors sought a hedge against global economic growth concerns.
The U.S. dollar's dominance in the gold market may be losing momentum, potentially leading to new all-time highs for gold as the dollar weakens, according to market strategist Carley Garner. She expects the U.S. dollar index to hold resistance below 105 points and eventually retest support at 99 points, which could be a game changer for gold, potentially pushing prices to $2,600 an ounce. Garner also highlights the resilience of gold and the potential for a selloff if the Federal Reserve shifts to a more neutral monetary policy stance. However, she is not as optimistic about silver, preferring to focus on gold.
