trading strategy January 3, 2025. Gold increased sharply, why?
What is happening, and why do investors continue to choose gold in 2025?**
Gold prices hit a two-week high
Gold has been bolstered by safe-haven buying activity as markets position themselves ahead of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rate outlook and the upcoming trade tariff policies of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Geopolitical factors, including international tensions and financial instability, particularly leading up to Trump’s inauguration, are also supporting gold prices. Gold thrives in low-interest-rate environments and serves as a hedge against economic and geopolitical risks.
Investors are awaiting key data such as U.S. job openings next week, the ADP employment report, the Fed’s December meeting minutes, and the official U.S. jobs report to assess the 2025 interest rate outlook.
Trump's inauguration on January 20 has heightened uncertainty, with his proposed tariff and protectionist policies expected to drive inflation and potentially trigger trade wars.
As expected in yesterday's trading plan, traders were advised to actively seek buy opportunities for gold at higher price levels due to strong bullish momentum and investor sentiment being positioned above safe price zones. Analyzing the D1 chart shows the bullish side dominating, with upcoming news continuing to favor gold's upward trajectory. On the D1 timeframe, pay attention to the 2670–2672 range, which is a zone of strong reaction, to look for sell scalping opportunities. However, the main trend today remains focused on buying in the target zones below.
