🔍 Fundamental Overview
Gold remains near record highs, supported by dovish Fed expectations, geopolitical tensions, and strong central bank demand. However, a stronger dollar and robust U.S. data have capped further upside for now.
🇺🇸 United States:
• Fed Policy: September rate cut completed; odds of another cut in October dropped slightly from 90% to 85%.
• Economic Data: Revised Q2 GDP at 3.8%, jobless claims fell – both dampen aggressive easing expectations.
• Dollar Strength: USD gains on data surprise, limiting gold’s upside.
• Tariff News: Trump announced new tariffs effective 1 October, adding to geopolitical uncertainty.
🌍 Global Factors:
• Geopolitical Risk: Rising tensions and trade war fears support safe-haven demand.
• Central Bank Buying: Continued accumulation by China and others.
• ETF Inflows: Strong inflows reinforce structural demand for gold.
