Fundamental Analysis

* Trump Takeover: Gold prices edged higher as the U.S. dollar weakened following Donald Trump’s speech, in which he softened his stance on aggressive tariffs. This shift eased concerns about inflationary pressures that could complicate the Federal Reserve’s ability to loosen monetary policy. President Trump also announced a national emergency concerning energy and the southern border, emphasizing plans to bolster strategic oil reserves, expand American oil exports, and enforce stricter immigration measures to deport millions of “criminal aliens” to their home countries. Additionally, his moderated trade rhetoric coincided with a Wall Street Journal report revealing a comprehensive directive for federal agencies to review trade policies and evaluate relationships with major trading partners, including China, Canada, and Mexico.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakout: Gold price was traded higher following prior breakout above the previous resistance level 2707.00. MACD which illustrate diminishing bearish momentum signal suggest the commodity to extend its gains.

* Resistance and Support: If the bullish momentum persists, there’s a strong likelihood that the price will potentially head towards the level 2792.00. Conversely, a potential reversal is also to be expected and the price could head back towards 2620.00 after it breaks back below the level 2707.00.

Potential Risks

Looking ahead, market attention is likely to continue to center on Donald Trump’s policy updates following his succession, as traders assess their potential impact on the U.S. economy and the dollar. On the economic front, the calendar is relatively light, but key U.S. data such as Initial Jobless Claims and S&P Global PMI figures will still draw focus.
