97
Fundamental Analysis: What’s Shaking Up Gold Prices?

USD Index Up 0.2%: A stronger dollar makes gold pricier for foreign buyers, creating short-term pressure. But don’t worry—gold remains the ultimate safe-haven in times of uncertainty! 📉

US Treasury Yields Rise 0.4%: Higher yields make non-yielding gold less attractive. Still, with persistent inflation, gold’s allure as a hedge stays strong! ⚖️

Fed Drama: Trump vs. Lisa Cook: Earlier this week, Trump announced plans to oust Fed Governor Lisa Cook from the Board of Governors. Cook’s legal team fired back, filing a lawsuit to block her removal, setting the stage for a prolonged legal battle. The result? Gold surged to a 2-week high on August 26 following this news. Political uncertainty = Rocket fuel for gold! 🔥🇺🇸

Key Economic Data on the Horizon: Investors are on edge awaiting GDP data today (28/08) and the PCE index—Fed’s favorite inflation gauge—on 29/08. Reuters’ poll forecasts PCE inflation at 2.6% for July 2025, matching June’s level. If the data comes in softer than expected, the Fed might cut rates, sending gold soaring! 📊 What’s your take on the Fed’s next rate move?

Technical Analysis: Bullish Trend Intact, But Watch for a Pullback!

Gold continues its bullish run, breaking through the 3393 level with a clear BOS (Break of Structure), signaling the uptrend is alive and well! However, price is hesitating around the 340x resistance zone, with risks of a sharp pullback at any moment. Strategy: BUY short-term to ride the momentum, but be ready to SELL on signs of a structural reversal. Don’t miss out! 📉📈
