11月24日金市晚评：地缘双刃剑与联储迷雾下 黄金震荡回升

Core Viewpoint - The future trajectory of the gold market will depend on several key factors, including the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision in December and upcoming economic data, particularly the November CPI report scheduled for release on December 18 [1][4]. Group 1: Market Overview - As of November 24, the dollar index slightly retreated, trading around 100.120, while gold prices were at $4066.81 per ounce, with a slight increase of 0.05% [1]. - Gold prices reached a high of $4076.69 and a low of $4039.72 during the trading session [1]. Group 2: Economic Indicators - Recent U.S. employment data showed a "strong but weak" trend, with non-farm payrolls increasing by 119,000 in September, significantly above the expected 50,000, but with downward revisions of 33,000 for July and August [3]. - The unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 4.4%, the highest since October 2021, leading to significant fluctuations in market expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December, with probabilities swinging between 40% and 74% [3]. Group 3: Geopolitical Factors - Progress in the Russia-Ukraine peace process and developments in the Middle East are influencing market sentiment. The U.S. proposed a "28-point peace plan" for Ukraine, which has led to a decrease in geopolitical risk [3][4]. - The escalation of tensions in the Middle East, particularly following discussions on a ceasefire involving Hamas and the death of a Hezbollah leader, has provided support for gold prices due to increased geopolitical risks [4]. Group 4: Technical Analysis - Technically, gold is at a critical juncture, with $4148 acting as a significant support/resistance level. A stable position above this level could lead to testing above $4200, while a drop below $4040 may trigger a decline towards $4000 or lower [7]. - The demand for physical gold in major Asian markets remains weak, and fluctuations in interest rates are hindering potential buyers, which may limit upward movement in gold prices [7].
