Fundamental Analysis
Gold extended its recovery to test $2,600 amid rising Russia-Ukraine tensions, ending a six-day losing streak. The latest gold rally could be due to rising Russia-Ukraine geopolitical tensions after the United States authorized Ukraine to use long-range US weapons to attack Russia.
The greenback’s rally following Donald Trump’s election victory could put some selling pressure on USD-denominated gold. Expectations of higher inflation next year due to Donald Trump’s policies have led to fewer expected rate cuts.
In addition, traders have reduced expectations of lower interest rates in December after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said the US central bank would not rush to cut, citing “remarkable” economic performance. Higher interest rates tend to drag gold prices lower, as it makes holding non-yielding assets like gold less attractive.
Technical analysis.
Gold prices have reacted at the EMA 34 zone, which is also an important dynamic resistance zone in the Asian session. The price zone of special note today is 2617-2615 at the upper boundary and the Asian session breakout support zone this morning is around 2575. The possibility of an uptrend and the formation of wave 3 has also been established according to the technical chart, so BUY signals will be prioritized today.
