Today’s analysis delivers a comprehensive overview of the gold markets, highlighting both fundamental and technical drivers behind current trends. This report is designed to provide investors with the insights they need to make informed decisions in a dynamic market environment.
Gold prices start the new week on a softer footing, pressured by renewed optimism surrounding the US-China trade deal and a de-escalation in geopolitical tensions. Easing fears of a US recession and the Federal Reserve’s hawkish pause continue to support the US dollar, adding further weight on the precious metal. XAU/USD bears remain cautious, awaiting more clarity on the US-China agreement before committing to a deeper downside move. Meanwhile, market attention also turns to ongoing US trade negotiations with Japan and the European Union, which continue to raise concerns.
Gold opened the week below $3,300, signaling underlying selling pressure. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is nearing the midline, suggesting a potential bearish shift. A hold above the midline could trigger a rebound toward the former support turned resistance at $3,340. A sustained move above this level would expose the next resistance at the descending trendline near $3,400. Currently, the Stochastics Oscillator stands at 35, while the RSI holds at 51.
