Gundamental analysis
Gold (XAU/USD) maintained its strong intraday gains in early European trading and is now trading near a two-week high, just below the $2,700 mark. Persistent geopolitical risks stemming from the worsening Russia-Ukraine conflict helped the safe-haven precious metal extend its weekly rally for a fifth straight day. In addition, expectations that US President-elect Donald Trump’s expansionary policies could stoke inflationary pressures turned out to be another factor in favor of the commodity, which is seen as an inflation hedge.
Meanwhile, buying of the US dollar (USD) remained unabated amid growing acceptance that higher inflation could limit the scope for further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed). Furthermore, expectations of a less dovish Fed, coupled with concerns over a larger fiscal deficit, still favor rising US Treasury yields, although they have not significantly dampened the bullish sentiment around non-yielding Gold. XAU/USD bulls have even ignored the prevailing risk-on sentiment, suggesting that the path of least resistance for bullion is to the upside.
Technical Analysis
2708-2710 is emerging as a technical resistance zone at the moment with corrective waves expected. 2673 and 2675 are the two targets we are aiming for. Note that today is the weekend so huge volatility is still waiting for the US session.
