美元形勢不明朗，黃金繼續承壓
週一(7月18日)，現貨黃金反彈，美元指數創一周新低至107.18，進一步脫離上週創下的近20年高位109.303。多名美聯儲官員上週暗示，他們不贊成本月加快升息步伐。美聯儲已進入本月政策會議前的緘默期。若最終證明美聯儲口是心非，將被外界解讀為病急亂投醫，並損及美聯儲信譽。
《華爾街日報》本月進行的調查顯示，美國經濟未來12個月內出現衰退的可能性為49%。約46%的經濟學家預計，美聯儲會過度加息，並造成不必要的經濟疲軟；12.3%的經濟學家認為美聯儲會加息不足；42%的經濟學家表示，美聯儲會適度加息幅度，以平衡通脹和增長。
本週開盤以來現貨黃金依舊承壓下行的趨勢，預計本週將會持續，因為美元前景晦澀不明，現貨黃金沒有強大的趨勢動能，本週會延續低位徘徊下行的行情，向下目標看齊1700.
技術分析：
本週主要呈現下行趨勢，價格連續刺穿布林帶下軌線，在下軌道線區間運行，1700點處企穩，反轉向上進入上軌道，但總體向上趨勢不明朗，主要還在震盪徘徊區間運行。
