Gold price (XAU/USD) has printed a fresh seven-week low of $1,819.00 as the Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers are favoring reaching the terminal rate as early as possible. The reason behind quickly accessing the terminal rate is the upbeat labor market in the United States, which could underpin the Consumer Price Index (CPI) sooner.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is showing signs of reversal after a corrective move to near 104.15 as the Fed is expected to continue its policy tightening spell to achieve price stability. This has exposed the Gold price to continue its downside momentum to near the round-level support of $1.800.00.

S&P500 futures recovered on Thursday as investors believe that the US economy is not exposed to recession fears as the economic outlook is steady amid stellar retail demand and robust labor need. Contrary to that, the 10-year US Treasury yields dropped below 3.90%.

On Thursday, the number of people filing for jobless claims for the first time dropped to 192K vs. the consensus of 200K. This has signaled again that the labor market is extremely tight and consumer spending will remain robust ahead.

Economists at TD Securities expect 25 bps rate hikes in March and May, with the Fed settling on a terminal Fed funds target rate range of 5.00%-5.25% by May. And, Fed chair Jerome Powell will keep higher rates for a longer period.

Gold price has comfortably shifted below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement (placed from November 3 low at $1,616.69 to February 2 high at $1.959.71) at $1,829.45 on a four-hour scale. The precious metal is expected to display more weakness below the immediate support at $1,819.00.

The 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $1,840.00 is acting as resistance for the Gold price.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has shifted into the bearish range of 20.00-40.00, which indicates more weakness ahead.
