In turn, the continued battle between the US Government and its perceived attacks on the independence of the Federal Reserve could potentially influence gold prices as it unfolds, given gold’s safe haven asset status. In particular, with the Fed’s decision approaching in a few weeks, should the situation fail to be resolved it may lead to heightened volatility in the markets.In the US Equities markets the main event of the day is set to be Nvidia’s (#NVIDIA) earnings report for the quarter which are set to be released after the markets close today. Hence all eyes will be on the company and whether it will able to beat their revenue and earnings per share estimates provided by analysts.

XAU/USD appears to be moving in a sideways fashion, with the commodity having remained within our sideways moving channel which was incepted on the 30th of April, despite some breakouts. Yet the commodity’s price is currently at our 3385 (R1) resistance level.Nonetheless, we opt for a sideways bias for gold’s price as long as it remains below our R1 resistance level. For our sideways bias to be maintained we would require gold’s price to remain confined between the 3240 (S1) support level and our 3385 (R1) resistance line. On the other hand for a bullish outlook we would require a clear break above our 3385 (R1) resistance line with the next possible target for the bulls being the 3500 (R2) resistance level. Lastly, for a bearish outlook we would require a clear break below the 3240 (S1) support level with the next possible target for the bears being the 3115 (S2) support line,
