Market Focus
Aug 29

On August 28, Gold Trust Ishares fell 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $83.985/share, with turnover of $530 million. The ETF declined as gold spot prices pulled back sharply from recent highs near $4,700/oz to approximately $4,600/oz.

On the macro front, the US July PCE price index rose 3.7% year-over-year while core PCE climbed 3.3%, both remaining well above the Federal Reserve's 2% long-term target. The persistent inflation data supported the US Dollar Index, which held above 99 and closed higher, applying short-term downward pressure on gold. Multiple analysts noted that gold has entered a corrective phase on the 60-minute chart following its prior rally, with profit-taking by long positions compounding the inflation data disturbance.
