 Dollar continues to be the strongest one for the week and sees fresh buying in early US session. Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy noted the debt ceiling negotiations have made some progress. But that was largely ignored by stock investors, even through treasury yields are on the rise. As for today, Canadian Dollar and Swiss France are currently the next strongest, just because they're facing less selling pressure. Kiwi, Aussie and Euro are the worst together with Euro. Technically, Gold's decline from 2062.95 resumed by breaking through 1951.77 support today. Further fall is now expected as long as 1985.08 resistance holds. There might be some support between 38.2% retracement of 1614.60 to 2062.95 at 1891.68, and channel support at around 1913 to contain downside. That is, 1900 is a key hurdle for the down trend to overcome. However, firm break of this support zone could easily push gold towards 1800 handle.
