XAUUSD:5/3 Today’s Analysis and Strategy

On Tuesday, gold maintained a strong trend after soaring by more than $30 yesterday, with gold prices currently sitting around 2120. International gold continued to rise, near three-month highs, on expectations of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

With the market betting that the first U.S. interest rate cut since early 2020 is imminent, traders have piled into gold, which is within striking distance of a record high. Intraday gold prices exceeded 2020 and were close to the all-time high of 2144 set in early December last year.

At the same time, central banks of various countries are actively increasing gold reserves. IMF data shows that India increased its gold holdings by 7.812 tons in January 2024 to 811.417 tons. Gold prices suffer when the U.S. adopts higher interest rates to curb inflation, boosting returns on competing assets like bonds and boosting the dollar, making the precious metal more expensive to buy with foreign currencies.
