Nevertheless, bullion may continue to serve as an alternative to fiat currencies amid the threat of a policy error by major central banks, and the price of gold may reestablish the bullish trend from earlier this year as it still tracks the positive slope in the 50-Day SMA ($2599).
With that said, the range bound price action in gold may end up short lived as it continues to hold above the moving average, but month-end flows may also influence the precious metal amid the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming elections in the US.
