XAUUSD – Trade War Rhetoric Returns: Why Gold May Rally Again

38
Steel. Aluminum. Tariffs doubled.

Whenever we enter a phase of tariff war talk and geopolitical friction, the market reacts in a very predictable way:

More tariffs = more uncertainty = weaker USD = stronger GOLD
Less tariffs = stability = stronger USD = weaker GOLD

It's not about politics. It’s about market psychology.
And right now, that psychology favors gold upside.

We’re seeing a return to protectionist rhetoric.
China-U.S. tensions are getting media oxygen again.
Tariff headlines are back on the front page.

This is historically a bullish trigger for gold, especially if the dollar starts to weaken on risk-off flows or rate speculation cools.

I’m keeping an eye on dollar softness + any follow-through on these trade war headlines.

If we get the right technical trigger, I’ll ride gold long ; this narrative can push it higher.
