OIL Co-relation:
Oil prices continue to recoup previous losses as traders bet on tightening supply. It’s swift recovery above 71.10 is an encouraging sign that buyers are still hanging around. Following the breakout, 70.10 has established itself as fresh support.
YIELDS
**On Tuesday, the US dollar has given back more ground as real US bond yields hit all-time lows, supporting the yellow metal.
Todays, The dollar fell, despite a generalized dismal mood. Global stocks edged lower, while demand for government bonds increased, pushing yields lower.
**The yield on 10-year Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) hit an all-time low -1.147% before rebounding to -1.116%.
**Traders are buying DOLLAR (repetition of Last JULY format) due to COVID concerns, soaring cases, restrictions and seriousness of B.1.617.2.
**10-year breakeven inflation rates rose to 2.40% and nominal yields fell to 1.25%. Nominal yields suggest bond markets are getting increasingly concerned about the potential deflationary impact of the delta variant, but inflation break evens suggest greater concern about the current inflation outlook.
**US infrastructure bill added volatility and optimism in market, recently.
**To hedge the potential economic fallout from the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant
**China's regulatory crackdown is impacting equities & stocks
**The risk-off impulse in the markets depicts a generally negative tone around the equity markets, supporting GOLD.
**Surging covid cases in Asia is supporting DOLLAR.
GOLD: Current Status:
Monetary Policy Related Scenarios:
Gold would be expected to gain on a less hawkish and more cautionary tone, pushing the US dollar down of its carry trade advantage over cross currencies.
Tapering could be mentioned in the official statement, which would be a very hawkish surprise and would be expected to support the US dollar. The US dollar smile theory could also come into play given the global spread of the delta variant. If the Fed sounds the alarm bells too aggressively, this will favour the dollar and cap any bullish advances in gold for now.
CONSOLIDATION:
The current consolidation is a sign of indecision ahead of a catalyst-driven breakout. 1823 is a major hurdle and its breach would heighten momentum and resume the stalled rally till 1855-1866 (resistance zone).
SCK:
H1 H4 D1 GOLD is currently in OVERSOLD area
Past 15 days Oscillation: 1790-1818 price zone.
SMA & FIB:
D SMA5 Stands at 1827 (1818-1823 zone) indicating a tough resistance at 1823, suggesting SELLS above 1818 price level till 38.2% with price gap of $5 between each trade set to exit in NET AVERAGE PROFIT in the same set.

In any case the 30% retracement, will be observed in rise or crash: both the scenarios within 24 hours of price movement, on a longer term FIB RT 50% can be the target price as per H1, to book profits in a time frame of 12-18 trading days.
