Spot gold trading strategy: gold price pulls back to 1900 mark, waiting for “terrorist data” to rescue
During the Asian session on Wednesday (January 18), spot gold fluctuated slightly and fell back to 1896.49. It is currently trading around the 1900 mark. Dynamics put pressure on gold prices. However, the market’s attention began to turn to the US data in the evening.

At present, the market expects that the year-on-year growth rate of PPI in the United States in December will drop to 6.8%, the previous value is 7.4%, the year-on-year growth rate of core PPI is expected to drop to 5.7%, the previous value is 6.2%; the market expects retail sales in the United States to fall by 0.8% in December , the previous value fell by 0.6% from the previous month; the market expects industrial output in December to decrease by 0.1% from the previous value by 0.2%.
