Aaron Hill, chief analyst at FP Markets, said geopolitical theatrics — particularly US President Donald Trump's hardline stance and potential flashpoint with world leaders — remain as ongoing drivers of volatility risks.
“In tandem, the softer labour market sentiment and easing inflation expectations lower immediate odds of Federal Reserve rate cut and sustain the bullish medium-term scenario for gold. The strength of the metal will depend upon whether such supportive fundamentals trump near-term risk swings over global trade news,” he said.
“A break above $3,328 on a sustained basis would reaffirm bullish pressure, while failure to hold above $3,293 risks unleashing further technical selling pressure. As such, gold is still positioned precariously — its next move resting on a delicate balancing act of central bank expectations, political posturing, as well as new information flow,” said Hill.
