This week, the market focus is on the Fed's interest rate decision and the tension in Yemen in the Middle East.
Gold prices rose to a new record high as the uncertainty of tariffs and bets on the Fed's loosening of monetary policy keep gold prices attractive. Central bank gold purchases and trade uncertainty are the main driving forces behind the rise in gold prices; investment institutions are accelerating the transfer of large quantities of physical gold bars to New York vaults to avoid possible tariffs and take advantage of the price difference between London and New York gold prices for arbitrage.
After the sharp rise, gold entered a shock consolidation, which is also a common trend in this round of upward trend. Although the decline at the end of last Friday was not very strong, the upward trend cannot be easily reversed by a single decline, and greater strength and time are needed.
Although the technical side still maintains the structural operation of the upward trend, we need to consider the historical high price of gold, and it is not easy to chase the rise at a high level. The trading idea at the beginning of the week is to wait for a pullback to buy at a low level, and then sell short-term near the previous historical high or another historical high!
