Fundamental analysis
XAUUSD quotes are trading within a downward correction, but there are signs that the downward movement may be nearing its end, with a potential upward reversal. The Producer Price Index ( PPI) data released yesterday showed a 2.4% rise in annual US inflation, almost in line with the forecasted 2.3%.
Today, the market will focus on US retail sales data for October, which is expected to show an increase of 0.3%. Weaker-than-forecast statistics could pressure the US dollar and help strengthen XAUUSD. Conversely, more robust data would support the US dollar and lower prices.

Asset prices plunged to 2,536 USD yesterday, where they encountered strong demand and reversed upwards, closing above 2,560 USD.
