Fundamental Analysis

*Gold soared to a record high as deteriorating U.S. inflation expectations and escalating trade tensions fueled risk aversion. Investors flocked to safe-haven assets after President Trump threatened a 200% tariff on European alcohol imports in response to the EU’s proposed 50% tax on U.S. whiskey. Calling the EU’s actions “hostile and abusive,” Trump demanded an immediate reversal of the tariffs.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakdown: Gold is testing the key resistance level at 2,990.00. A breakout could drive prices toward 3,035.00 (Fibonacci Expansion level). However, MACD signals fading bullish momentum, and RSI at 76 indicates overbought conditions, raising the likelihood of a technical correction. Failure to break resistance could see gold retrace toward 2,935.00 support.

Potential Risks

At record highs, gold faces the risk of profit-taking, which may trigger a short-term pullback.
