Gold price pares intraday losses, keeps the red amid modest USD strength ahead of NFP

Gold price corrects further from the all-time high amid hawkish remarks by Fed officials. Some follow-through USD buying exerts some pressure ahead of the crucial US NFP data.

From a technical perspective, weakness below the $2,265 area could expose the weekly swing low, around the $2,229-2,228 region, with the $2,250 level acting as an intermediate support. Some follow-through selling has the potential to drag the Gold price toward the $2,200 psychological mark, which is likely to act as a strong base. That said, a convincing breakdown through the said handle should pave the way for some meaningful corrective decline.

The popularly known Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report will be looked upon for fresh cues about the Fed's rate-cut path, which, in turn, will drive the USD demand and provide a fresh directional impetus to the non-yielding Gold price. In the meantime, persistent geopolitical tensions stemming from the Russia-Ukraine war and the risk of a further escalation of conflicts in the Middle East should act as a tailwind for the safe-haven XAU/USD. This should limit any meaningful corrective slide from the all-time peak.
