【Technical Analysis】
Gold remains strong above $2,666.86, indicating a bullish trend. A breakthrough at $2,685.60 could lead to further gains, with resistance at $2,700 and support at $2,653.29. Short-term support lies at $2,670.
【Market Sentiment and Economic Background】
Uncertainty surrounding the U.S. election and global rate cuts boost gold's appeal as a safe haven. Middle East tensions and strong central bank purchases support prices, while lower interest rates make non-yielding gold attractive.
【Analyst Opinions】
Analysts suggest that gold could face short-term resistance at $2,700 but expect a possible rise to $2,900 next year. Political uncertainties, fiscal instability, and geopolitical tensions are key drivers. Some analysts foresee gold needing to breach $2,685 to confirm further bullish momentum.
