Gold price sticks

57
Gold price (XAU/USD) sticks to its modest intraday gains above the $3,250 level through the Asian session on Monday, though it lacks strong follow-through buying or a bullish conviction. Against the backdrop of the protracted Russia-Ukraine war, an escalation of the Middle East conflict keeps the geopolitical risk in play. Furthermore, the uncertainty over US President Donald Trump's tariff plans weighs on investors' sentiment and benefits the traditional safe-haven precious metal.

Meanwhile, heightened economic uncertainty on the back of Trump's tariffs fails to assist the US Dollar (USD) to capitalize on the upbeat US monthly jobs report-inspired bounce. Apart from this, bets for an imminent start of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) rate-cutting cycle lend additional support to the non-yielding Gold price. Traders, however, seem reluctant to place aggressive bets and opt to move to the sidelines ahead of a two-day FOMC policy meeting starting on Tuesday.
