Gold Price Prediction – Gold Breaks Out of Trend Line Resistance on Dollar Weakness
By:
The dollar tumbles on new stimulus talks
Gold prices broke out above trend line resistance on Friday as the dollar broke down lifting all commodities to higher levels. US treasury yields traded sideways after climbing for most of the week. The White House has announced that it has increased its stimulus target and is preparing a $1.8 trillion coronavirus relief offer, its largest proposal to date. The additional stimulus would weigh on US yields and devaluate the dollar which led to the decline in the greenback paving the way for higher gold prices.

White House Increases Stimulus Offer
The White House has announced that it has increased its stimulus target and is preparing a $1.8 trillion coronavirus relief offer, its largest proposal to date. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is expected to discuss a new $1.8 trillion proposal with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The White House proposal marks a further narrowing of the distance between the administration and Democratic leaders over the bill’s overall price tag. Still, its nearly 0.8 trillion of the level that the House of Representatives wants and investors are unsure if a deal will get done ahead of the election.
