XAUUSD Gold price moves closer to three-week peak amid modest USD downtick
Gold price regains positive traction amid a modest USD pullback from a multi-week high. Persistent trade-related uncertainties also lend support to the safe-haven precious metal. Reduced Fed rate cut bets might cap the commodity ahead of the critical US CPI repo
Fundamental Overview
Amid US President Donald Trump’s fresh tariff threats announced late Monday and his latest criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, Gold traders resorted to profit-taking after the bright metal hit a three-week high of $3,375 while bracing for the US inflation report for June.
Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Russia if President Vladimir Putin does not agree to a deal to end his invasion of Ukraine in 50 days, per Bloomberg.
Meanwhile, the US President renewed his attacks on Powell, noting that “interest rates should be at 1% or lower, rather than the 4.25% to 4.50% range the Fed has kept the key rate at so far this year.”
Markets now price in 50 basis points of Fed interest rate cuts by year-end, with the first reduction foreseen in September.
However, it remains to be seen if these expectations hold ground following the US CPI data publication.
Economists are expecting the US annual CPI and core CPI to accelerate 2.7% and 3% in June, reflecting the tariff impact feeding through prices. Meanwhile, the monthly CPI and core CPI inflation figures are set to rise to 0.3% in the same period.
Hotter-than-expected US CPI monthly or annual readings could reinforce the Fed’s patient outlook, pushing back against expectations of two Fed rate cuts this year.
This scenario could help the US Dollar (USD) extend its recovery at the expense of the non-yielding Gold price.
Alternatively, if the data come in below forecasts, it could provide a fresh tailwind to the Gold price on renewed bets that the Fed will remain on track for two rate cuts.

XAU/USD Short Trade Setup | Entry 2690.766 | SL 2700 RR: 1:10Executed a short position on XAU/USD with a strategic entry at 2690.766. Using my standard market structure analysis, I identified a solid resistance level and potential downside momentum. Placing a stop loss at 2700 to manage risk and targeting 2593.019 for a solid risk-to-reward ratio. Ensuring a calculated approach with every trade.
Focus on the consumer price index (CPI) reportGold prices are currently at a very high level, up about 36% compared to October 2023, so there is always pressure to take profits after each strong increase.
Investors are closely monitoring the conflict in the Middle East. This is still considered a powder keg that can cause tension in the global financial market.
Investors are also paying attention to the US consumer price index (CPI) report, expected to be announced on August 14. This is considered one of the most important indicators that the Fed monitors to make decisions on monetary policy. If the CPI continues to show a downward trend in inflationary pressure, the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates in the coming months becomes even clearer.
Gold is forecast to reach $2,500/ounce in the second half of the year. This is easier than ever when the price for December delivery has exceeded this threshold. If tensions escalate uncontrollably in the Middle East, gold prices could climb further.

NZDJPY approaching resistance, potential drop! NZDJPY is approaching our first resistance at 78.08 (horizontal swing high resistance, 61.8%, 50% Fibonacci retracement, 100% Fibonacci extension, descending channel resistance) where a strong drop might occur below this level pushing price down to our major support at 75.60 (horizontal pullback support, 61.8% Fibonacci extension, 38.2% Fibonacci retracement).
Stochastic (55,5,3) is also approaching resistance and we might see a corresponding rise in price should it react below this level.
