Fed Chair Warsh: More Work Needed for Inflation Target

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh stated that inflation has not slowed meaningfully and that policymakers need to be convinced otherwise, otherwise the central bank has work to do. Speaking at the Fed's annual conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Warsh emphasized the commitment to achieving the 2% inflation target. Warsh expressed concerns that inflation is not making progress toward the target and signaled that monetary policy may need to be tightened. These remarks strengthened market expectations of interest rate hikes and negatively impacted investor risk appetite. Fed officials say they remain determined to combat inflation and will take further steps if necessary. Warsh's comments suggest the central bank could adopt a more hawkish stance in the coming period. These developments could lead to a stronger dollar and pressure on gold prices in global markets. However, investors should closely monitor the Fed's decisions at upcoming meetings. This is not investment advice.

Fed Chairman Warsh's statement that more work is needed on the inflation target could be perceived as a hawkish monetary policy signal, potentially supporting the DXY in the short term. Technically, the RSI being in overbought territory at 75 may limit the pace of the rally, but the MACD being positive and above the signal line indicates continued momentum. The price is trading above the SMA20 and SMA50, confirming an overall upward trend. However, due to overbought conditions, there is a risk of short-term consolidation or a slight pullback, so I anticipate a limited upward movement rather than a strong rally.

The Fed Chair's statement that more work is needed to achieve the inflation target could be perceived as a signal of a hawkish stance. This may weaken expectations of interest rate cuts that have been supporting gold prices. Technical indicators also point to weakness: RSI at 38 is near the oversold territory, and MACD is below the signal line. Although the price remains well above the SMA20 and SMA50, it has dropped 1% in the last 24 hours. In the short term, the likelihood of continued downward pressure is high, but the distance of the current price from the moving averages also brings the risk of a sharp correction.
