Gold Prices Forecast: XAG/USD Soars Amid Geopolitical Tensions
==========
Gold prices closed higher as geopolitical tensions and economic factors bolstered the precious metal’s appeal as a safe-haven asset. The escalation in the Middle East, coupled with a softer U.S. dollar and lower Treasury yields, significantly influenced gold’s market behavior last Friday. XAU/USD settled at $2392.07, up $13.02 or +0.55%. The recent increase in gold prices can be primarily attributed to escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. U.S. Treasury yields experienced a dip following the geopolitical events and recent economic data. Federal Reserve officials have hinted at maintaining higher interest rates for a prolonged period, countering expectations of an imminent rate cut. Gold's appeal as a non-yielding asset could be further enhanced. Considering the current geopolitical environment and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy direction, gold is expected to maintain its bullish momentum in the short term.
