【Latest Gold Price and Recent Trends】
Gold prices surged to $2,853 as geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and Israel, and Trump's tariff policies drive demand for safe-haven assets. This spike reflects a flight from risk assets amid global uncertainty.
【Technical Analysis】
Gold's upward momentum is robust, with resistance at $2,850, potentially targeting $2,900 if the trend persists. The RSI is in the overbought territory, indicating further gains, but a pullback could test support at $2,800 and $2,785.
【Market Sentiment and Economic Background】
Global central banks continue to buy gold at record rates, viewing it as a stable strategic asset amidst economic uncertainty. Recent U.S. employment data and the JOLTS job openings report suggest economic slowing, impacting the dollar and supporting gold. Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods have heightened trade tensions, further fueling gold demand as a hedge against geopolitical risk.
【Analyst Opinions】
Analysts highlight gold's strength as a hedge against inflation and uncertainty, with potential for prices to reach $3,000 due to central bank purchases and geopolitical tensions. Gold's rise is supported by a weaker dollar and falling U.S. Treasury yields. However, attention remains on upcoming U.S. economic data, which could influence market dynamics.
