Gold remains close to all-time highs as markets brace for US macro data and political uncertainties.
Gold Steady Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Fed Speculation
Gold’s Resilience Amid US Political and Geopolitical Risks
Gold (XAU/USD) is trading solidly above the $2,750 mark, bolstered by geopolitical tensions and upcoming US elections that fuel demand for safe-haven assets. With global attention on the Middle East, where US-Iran frictions are adding volatility, and a highly uncertain US political climate ahead of the November election, investors are increasingly eyeing gold. Moreover, a softer US Treasury yield and risk-averse sentiment provide additional support for the metal as the week unfolds.
US Data in Focus as Rate Cut Bets Decline
Expectations for a major rate cut by the Federal Reserve have softened following robust US macroeconomic reports. This sentiment is likely to lend strength to the US Dollar (USD) while also underpinning US bond yields. However, gold’s recent dip-buying signals continued appeal despite a stronger dollar, especially as critical US economic data—such as the Consumer Confidence Index and JOLTS report—could influence the Fed’s next moves. This cautious stance keeps investors on the sidelines until further clarity on Fed policy.
Technical Outlook: Key Levels to Watch for Gold Bulls
A solid close above $2,750 could pave the way for further gains toward the all-time high of $2,759 and possibly even $2,775. Conversely, a pullback could test support near $2,725, with a deeper correction potentially leading to the $2,700 and $2,675 levels. For now, all eyes are on this week’s US data, which will shape short-term market moves and provide direction for the yellow metal.
