Data such as the US CPI and Retail Sales, which create changes in global risk appetite, will have an impact on gold. Potentially high CPI and positive US sales may support the dollar while putting pressure on demand for gold. Conversely, data below expectations could support gold. Additionally, with Japan's Mountain Day holiday, the Asian session may remain relatively thin.

Technical Levels: 3463.65 - 3423.16 - 3402.73 - 3342.18 - 3321.75 - 3283.70 - 3220.71

3402.73 is a critical pivot level, and sustained movements above it will bring the resistance levels of 3423.16 and 3463.65 into focus. Conversely, dips below the pivot level of 3342.18 will see the importance of the support levels at 3321.75 and 3283.70 increase.
