However, gold is confronted with resistance when the US Dollar Index (DXY) reinforced to a highest point of a week, making the metal more expensive for foreign buyers. In addition, the strong American labor data on Friday has reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve can maintain high interest rates, which reduces Gold’s benefit.
Silver slips as a stronger dollar weighs on prices
Silver (XAG/USD) returns to $ 31.99, after reaching an Intra-Day low of $ 31.64, put under pressure by the reinforcing US dollars. The Greenback received a grip after Trump’s rate announcement has fueled speculation on long -term inflation.
Despite the dip, silver continues to benefit from the demand for safe haven, because the continuous market uncertainty keeps investors careful. “Silver’s industrial question remains strong, but price movements are determined in the short term by macro-economic factors,” said Maria Gomez, a metal analyst at Global Commodity Insights.
Market front views: Inflation data and fed policy in Focus
Looking ahead, investors will look closely in the vicinity of the upcoming American inflation data and all signals from the Federal Reserve policymakers with regard to interest rates. A stronger than expected inflation lecture can further stimulate the gold, while all hints of cuts in the fed can ease the dollar, giving silver a lift.
For the time being, the market sentiment will remain careful, where gold maintains its bullish process and silver finding support despite the short -term volatility.
Short -term prediction
Gold (XAU/USD) holds at $ 2,923, which is viewed resistance at $ 2,942. An outbreak could push the prices to $ 2,965, while the support for $ 2,906 has to hold to retain bullish momentum.
