Gold Daily | Geopolitical Tensions and Economic Uncertainty Sustain Gold's Safe-Haven Demand

【Latest Gold Price and Recent Trends】

Gold prices are currently trading at approximately $2,622, marking a slight decline after reaching a weekly high of $2,641 amid increased safe-haven demand driven by heightened Russia-Ukraine tensions and a weaker dollar trend.

【Technical Analysis】

Gold is trading above the pivot point of $2,625.43, supported by the 50-day moving average at $2,622.71, indicating a bullish outlook. Key resistance lies around $2,642, with further potential targets at $2,659.11 and $2,678.29. A sustained break above these levels might encourage further buying momentum. The immediate support is at $2,608.07, with deeper support at $2,589.48 and $2,567.06.

【Market Sentiment and Economic Background】

Heightened geopolitical tensions, particularly the Russia-Ukraine conflict, continue to support gold's safe-haven appeal. Russia's updated nuclear policy and Ukraine's missile attacks on Russian bases have escalated risks, prompting a shift towards gold. Despite a stronger dollar limiting upside potential, geopolitical concerns bolster gold demand. Recent robust economic data and potential long-term high U.S. interest rates add complexity, with the Federal Reserve's path on rate cuts still uncertain as inflation remains a key concern.

【Analyst Opinions】

Analysts believe the geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties will drive gold prices higher. The key focus remains on geopolitical developments and potential interest rate changes. The market is adjusting expectations on the Federal Reserve's rate cuts due to inflation concerns, which could negatively impact gold. However, gold's role as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical risks continues to attract investors.
