Gold prices rebounded during Wednesday’s Asian session as the demand for safe haven increased in the wake of U.S. tariffs. However, spot prices were resisted around $3,058.
Adding fuel to the rally was a weakening dollar, with the dollar index sliding and further boosting gold’s demand.
Meanwhile, gold spot tested $2,956 level on Monday which happened to be three weeks low, reacting to the tariff announcement by President Trump. Like many other asset classes, the yellow metal came under pressure late last week into Monday as a result of the risk-off environment triggered by the U.S. tariffs, announced on April 2nd.
As nations responded with retaliatory measures, global stock markets tumbled across board. As markets priced in the U.S. tariff, gold on the front radar leads the charge with a 2.35% daily gain as of the time of writing.
UPCOMING CATALYST:
On the radar this week: FOMC is meeting minutes is expected to be on the wire later today Wednesday 9th at 10PM GMT+4, Followed by U.S. annual inflation data and weekly unemployment claims on Thursday at 4:30PM. While on Friday, attention would tilt towards PPI, consumer sentiment and inflation expectation at 4:30PM and 6:00PM respectively.
While these data points could spark market volatility, the U.S. tariffs and retaliatory measures by nations carry even greater significance at this point.
TECHNICAL VIEW
