Fundamental Report: Amid rising Middle East tensions and falling U.S. Treasury yields, gold’s appeal as a safe haven grows, setting a bullish outlook for XAU/USD. As Middle East tensions escalate, gold becomes an even more attractive safe haven for investors. Spot gold (XAU/USD) edged higher in Tuesday’s trading session, reinforcing its status as a go-to asset in times of crisis. In contrast, gold futures remained relatively flat, indicating a complex market sentiment. U.S. Treasury yields experienced a pullback, with the 10-year yield retreating from a 5% peak reached on Monday. This follows Bill Ackman’s recent move to cover his bond short position, stating that the current geopolitical risk made shorting bonds too precarious. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s recent comments have further convoluted the market’s direction. He emphasized the Fed’s commitment to curbing inflation, which currently aligns with a 98% probability that interest rates will remain unchanged in the next policy meeting. These factors contribute to an intricate landscape that gold investors must navigate. Investors are closely watching the ongoing conflict.The situation could potentially escalate into a broader crisis in the oil-exporting region, affecting supply chains and subsequently lifting gold as a safer investment option.
