🌎 Fundamental Drivers (Recent News & Market Sentiment)
📊 Fed's Rate Decision & Inflation Outlook

Fed Chair Jerome Powell has hinted at potential rate cuts by mid-2025, citing slowing inflation.

A dovish Fed stance is bullish for gold, as lower interest rates weaken the dollar and boost demand for non-yielding assets like gold.

📉 U.S. Dollar Weakness & Bond Yields

The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has softened, making gold more attractive to international buyers.

10-Year Treasury Yields remain volatile, but any decline favors gold.

📈 Geopolitical Tensions & Safe-Haven Demand

Rising concerns over Middle East conflicts and China-Taiwan tensions have increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.

Central banks (including China and India) continue to accumulate gold reserves, adding upward pressure on prices.

🏛️ Central Bank Buying

Reports indicate that China’s PBOC (People’s Bank of China) has increased gold reserves for the 17th consecutive month.

BRICS nations are also accumulating gold, signaling de-dollarization trends that could further boost prices.

🔮 Conclusion: What’s Next for Gold?
Short-Term View:

Bullish Above: $3,030, targeting $3,050–$3,070.

Bearish Below: If rejected, expect $3,010–$3,000 retest.

Long-Term View:

Given macroeconomic trends (Fed policy shift, central bank buying, geopolitical risks), gold remains in a strong uptrend.

If the Fed confirms rate cuts, $3,100+ levels become realistic in Q2 2025.

🚀 Gold traders should closely monitor the $3,030 entry zone for confirmation of a breakout or rejection. 🚀
