Gold outlook: XAU/USD enters key resistance zone ahead of CPI

Gold prices we have been contained for much of the session so far today after a sharp rebound last week, climbing almost 7.5% after spending several weeks moving sideways around the $4,000 level. The strength of the move has put the precious metal firmly back on traders' radar, but the key issue now is whether this breakout can develop into a more sustained uptrend or whether it ultimately proves to be another sharp rally within a broader consolidation phase.
