Positive tariff news favors lower gold prices - wait for FOMC

75
🔔🔔🔔Gold news:

➡️ Gold prices ended the week down around 2.50% as improved risk appetite - driven by easing trade tensions and a strong US jobs report - prompted investors to book profits ahead of the weekend.

➡️ Over the weekend, China's Ministry of Commerce said the US was open to trade and tariff talks, reaffirming that Beijing's door to dialogue remains open.

➡️ Bullion prices continued to fall after April's non-farm payrolls unexpectedly rose, beating expectations, while the unemployment rate remained unchanged from March. XAU/USD fell to an intraday low of $3,222 as traders reduced expectations for four rate cuts from just three now.

Personal opinion:

➡️ There is still no strong enough momentum for gold to continue rising and must wait for the upcoming FMOC. Therefore, gold will maintain a short-term downtrend in the beginning of next week

➡️ Note: any information about the US-China trade war is given top priority

➡️ Analysis based on resistance - support levels and trend lines combined with EMA to come up with a suitable strategy
