But the updated Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), the so-called dot plot chart, showed a major hawkish shift, with nine Fed officials forecasting at least one interest rate increase this year.<\/p>\n<p>The central bank also removed language from its monetary policy statement that had suggested its next move would be a rate cut.<\/p>\n<p>At his first post-policy meeting press conference, Chairman Kevin Warsh said that the Fed has also removed \u201cforward guidance\u201d from its statement, adding that \u201cI did not submit a dot. For me, it\u2019s not helpful in the conduct of policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The FOMC press conference maintained a steady tone, with the FXS Speechtracker score at 6\/10, in line with the historical average and signaling no major hawkish or dovish surprise relative to the established baseline. The repeated emphasis that 2% inflation remains the long-held objective, that there is \u201cno reason\u201d to revisit the target until it is delivered, and that inflation is primarily driven by monetary policy underscores a firm commitment to a restrictive stance that is broadly supportive for the Dollar. At the same time, the explicit abandonment of forward guidance and the admission that policymakers do not feel bound by the dots highlight a shift toward data dependence and market-driven price discovery, which may inject more volatility into Dollar and rate expectations as traders react to incoming data rather than Fed signaling.<\/p>\n<p>The FXS Fed Sentiment Index fell by 30.92 points to 120.00, indicating a notable pullback in perceived hawkishness even as the index remains well above the neutral 100 mark. This configuration suggests that, while the tone has moderated from recent peaks according to the FXS Speechtracker, the policy stance is still firmly in hawkish territory, consistent with a Fed that is committed to delivering 2% inflation but now relying more on data and market pricing than on explicit forward guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with the Fed and uncertainty around the US-Iran peace deal out of the way, Gold traders will pay close attention to the incoming data, especially after US Retail Sales increased for a fourth straight month, highlighting the economy&#x27;s resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Later today, the US Jobless Claims report will entertain traders ahead of the Bank of England (BoE) policy announcement.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maxainasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gold-chart-2026-06-18-1024x390.png\" alt=\"Gold Technical Analysis\" class=\"wp-image-23997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meishengzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gold-chart-2026-06-18-1024x390.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.meishengzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gold-chart-2026-06-18-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/www.meishengzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gold-chart-2026-06-18-768x292.png 768w, https:\/\/www.meishengzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gold-chart-2026-06-18-1536x585.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.meishengzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gold-chart-2026-06-18-18x7.png 18w, https:\/\/www.meishengzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gold-chart-2026-06-18.png 1647w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>In the daily chart, XAU\/USD trades at $4,312.29, retaining a bearish near-term bias as price holds below the 21-day, 50-day, 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). The clustering of these SMAs between roughly $4,390 and $4,735 suggests that recent rebounds remain corrective within a broader downside phase, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) near 44 hints at weak but not extreme selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p>On the topside, initial resistance is aligned with the 21-day SMA at about $4,387, ahead of the 200-day SMA near $4,464, which acts as a more structural barrier. Further up, the 50-day SMA around $4,554 and the 100-day SMA close to $4,735 form a wider supply zone that would cap any stronger recovery unless decisively reclaimed; with no clear moving-average support below spot, the metal remains vulnerable to fresh lows while it trades under these overlapped resistance layers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold is reversing the previous slump early Thursday, regaining $4,300 after finding fresh buyers near $4,250.
