Today’s analysis offers a comprehensive insight into the gold and silver markets, highlighting the fundamental and technical factors influencing current trends. Our report is designed to empower investors with the knowledge needed to navigate these markets effectively.
Gold prices regained upward momentum on Thursday as escalating trade tensions fueled safe-haven demand. A slight pullback in the U.S. dollar from multi-week highs, along with continued expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, provided additional support for XAU/USD.
Traders are now looking ahead to key U.S. macroeconomic data releases on Thursday, followed by the U.S. PCE inflation data on Friday, for further market direction. Fresh tariff threats unsettled investors, briefly boosting the U.S. dollar before gold managed to recover. Meanwhile, hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials tempered expectations of immediate rate cuts. St. Louis Fed President Alberto stated there was no urgency to lower rates, while Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari emphasized the need for caution amid ongoing policy uncertainty, according to Reuters.
Gold prices reached a new weekly high and appear poised for further gains amid heightened trade concerns and a weakening U.S. dollar. The technical outlook remains bullish, with the ascending triangle pattern suggesting an upside target of $3,080.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is trending higher, reinforcing bullish momentum. Gold is likely to challenge its record high of $3,058 before making a move toward the $3,080 target. On the downside, the key psychological support at $3,000 should provide a strong floor, with additional support at last week’s low of $2,980.
Technical indicators show the Stochastics Oscillator at 82 and the RSI at 68, signaling continued upside potential while approaching overbought territory.
Silver continued its rally as the gold-to-silver ratio dipped below the critical 90 level, signaling increased investor interest in the metal. A decisive move above the $34.00 mark could pave the way for a test of the next resistance zone between $34.50 and $35.00.
Technical indicators remain supportive of further upside, with the short-term Stochastics Oscillator at 72 and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 63, suggesting bullish momentum without being overextended.
