Fundamental Analysis

* Safe-Haven Bid: Gold prices have surged against the dollar, driven by increased safe-haven demand amid escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine. Recently, Moscow lowered its threshold for nuclear retaliation in response to Ukrainian attacks. This decision came after reports that the U.S. had approved the use of long-range missiles by Ukraine against Russia, which Moscow warned could lead to a severe escalation of the conflict. Despite this, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov emphasized that the country would strive to avoid nuclear war. However, hostilities between Russia and Ukraine continued, with both sides launching destructive attacks over the past week.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakout: Gold price was traded higher following prior breakout above the previous resistance level 2625.00. MACD which illustrate bullish momentum signal suggest the commodity to likely 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 2685.00. Conversely, a potential reversal is also to be expected and the price could head back towards 2625.00.

Potential Risks

With little significant U.S. economic data, investors are expected to focus on developments in the Middle East conflict and Russia-Ukraine tensions to assess sentiment for the safe-haven commodity.
