Gold Price Today: Reversing to increase in price!Currently, gold price has increased by 21.9 USD, reaching 2,357.6 USD/ounce, recovering to the high level from last week after positive news announced last evening. The main reason is the weakening of the USD and Treasury bond yields after data on US producer prices in April were published. The USD fell 0.2%, making gold more attractive to investors using other currencies. Yields on 10-year Treasury bonds also fell, reducing the opportunity cost of holding gold, thereby boosting gold prices.

XAUUSD - Shocking price increaseEveryone, let's find out what's new in the gold market today! Yesterday, gold saw a significant breakthrough, as the metal rose from around $2300 USD to as high as $2350 USD at the moment, completely shedding previous bearish sentiment. The weakening of the USD has strongly supported the upward trend in the price of this precious metal. In addition, gold prices rose even higher "after a number of major central banks decided to cut interest rates or signaled their willingness to cut interest rates further in the future." Lower interest rates reduce the "opportunity cost" of holding gold, a non-yielding asset, making it a more attractive investment. Looking at the chart analysis: Gold is approaching the resistance area as marked. On the upside: If it succeeds in maintaining this trend and successfully closes above resistance, XAUUSD will open up a profitable opportunity to quickly move towards $2400 USD. On the other hand, if a pullback to correct the trend occurs, XAUUSD will retest the breakout zone at $2330 USD once again, but the uptrend will still be maintained as the 34 EMA is reversing and signaling positivity for buyers.

Gold suddenly turned down!"Gold (XAU/USD) attracted some buyers during Asian trading hours on Wednesday. Safe-haven demand, driven by geopolitical tensions and political uncertainty, as well as central bank buying activity, may contribute to pushing gold prices higher. However, hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials could dampen hopes of interest rate cuts in 2024, despite weaker-than-expected US employment reports in April. This could drag the precious metal lower. At the end of Wednesday, Philip Jefferson, Susan Collins, and Lisa Cook of the Federal Reserve will speak. Hawkish comments from Fed policymakers may lift the greenback and exert pressure on gold priced in USD. Gold traders will monitor consumer sentiment indices from the University of Michigan on Friday."
