Gold rates in the international markets have been falling marginally since the last 5 days, although the trend was heading north at the first two weeks of the current month. But, at present the market is very cautious about the upcoming Fed Chair's name, investors are speculating that will Powell remain the Fed Chair or will Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard take up for the position.

In the next week, there will be a potential hurdle of holiday trading, because of the US Thanksgiving celebration. OANDA senior market analyst Edward Moya told Kitco News, "Trading activity will be thin, and we could have some exaggerated moves here. We are not going to see any new trends emerge next week unless we get the Brainard surprise. Otherwise, gold could be stuck in that consolidation pattern." he additionally stated, "gold will see choppy trading as the market tries to determine how dovish the Fed will end up being next year as inflation pressures build, he added."
