Spot gold rose 0.1% to $1,931.61 per ounce, however, gains earlier in the session were retraced after data showed a decline in U.S. consumer spending in December, although the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rose month-on-month.

If the gold price breaks above the 1932-line, then pay attention to the suppression strength of the two positions of 1944 and 1955.

OPEC+ representatives meet next week to review crude production levels, and sources from the group of oil-producing countries expect no changes to current production policies.
