Powell’s speech next week will provide key clues

Therefore, next week’s Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting and Powell’s August 27 A speech on the long-awaited “assessment of monetary policy framework” will be the focus of the market. In addition, the market also needs to pay attention to the progress of US-Iranian relations and the US stimulus plan, which will also have a direct impact on gold prices.
