Gold: Technical support tested as liquidation continues – MUFG

💡 DMK Insight

Gold’s recent pressure amidst geopolitical tensions is a red flag for traders. Typically, when geopolitical risks rise, gold tends to rally as a safe haven. However, the current scenario suggests that other factors, possibly a stronger dollar or rising interest rates, are overshadowing these risks. Traders should keep an eye on the U.S. dollar index and interest rate forecasts, as these could dictate gold’s trajectory in the near term. If the dollar continues to strengthen, gold could face further downside, potentially testing key support levels. Watch for any shifts in sentiment around the Federal Reserve’s policy, as that could be the catalyst for a reversal or further declines in gold prices. On the flip side, if geopolitical tensions escalate significantly, we might see a sudden spike in demand for gold, but for now, the market seems to be pricing in a different narrative. Keep an eye on the $1,800 level for gold; a break below could signal further weakness.
