Gold consolidates on softer safehaven demand

57

Fundamental View
The Federal Reserve opted to keep interest rates unchanged with a hawkish tilt at its latest policy meeting which gave the USD a boost. Meanwhile, gold’s upside remains limited due to reduced safehaven demand, a stronger USD and a de-escalation in global trade tensions. Elevated US inflation figures and robust economic performance have continued to support the dollar, thereby limiting gold’s attractiveness.

Technical View
XAUUSD remains in a consolidation phase as long as it holds above the $3,285–$3,300 support zone. A decisive break above $3,355 could signal a resumption of bullish momentum, while a move below current support levels may open the door to further downside pressure.
