Gold Price Outlook: XAU/USD

In turn, the price of gold may continue to give back the advance from the monthly low ($3121) as the Trump administration avoids a trade war, but the precious metal may defend the bullish trend from earlier this year as the ongoing shift in US fiscal policy clouds the outlook for the global economy.
With that said, the recent weakness in the price of gold may turn out to be temporary should it continue to track the positive slope in the 50-Day SMA ($3213), but bullion may struggle to retain the rebound from the monthly low ($3121) if it closes below the moving average for the first time since January.
