Here’s the update on XAUUSD news for today, November 16, 2023. Gold prices (XAU/USD) experienced an increase on Thursday, reversing some earlier declines. The US Dollar (USD) remained weak as the Federal Reserve (Fed) is likely to cut interest rates. Although gold prices are below $2,000, traders should be cautious, especially after failing to break above $2,010.
 
In a quiet trading session, it is advisable to wait for follow-up buying actions before taking positions. While dovish expectations from the Fed could drive XAU/USD higher, the potential for corrective declines may still be seen as limited buying opportunities.
