XAUUSD has the potential to rebound from the key support zone of 2,610.967 – 2,648.431, especially if demand for gold as a safe-haven asset increases.
If it breaks above the EMA resistance at 2,647.996, the price may continue moving higher. The strength of the USD remains a major factor, but any sign of rate easing from the Fed or escalating geopolitical tensions could strongly boost gold.
Many central banks still aim to diversify assets with gold to reduce reliance on the USD. The Fed and other central banks might continue easing monetary policy, creating opportunities for gold to increase in value.
The U.S. Core CPI index will be released mid-week, providing the Fed a chance to assess whether inflation is aligning with the 2% target.
