Gold Prices Forecast: Traders Eye XAU/USD Amid Fed Hesitation, Global Tensions.
==========
Gold prices are steadying early Thursday, influenced by a mix of global geopolitical tensions and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s stance on interest rate cuts. The ongoing Gaza conflict, driving safe-haven demand, is balanced against expectations for U.S. interest rates and concerns regarding a potential global banking crisis linked to commercial real estate loans. Fed officials are currently reluctant to implement rate cuts until there is more concrete evidence of inflation trending towards their 2% goal. U.S. Treasury yields, which impact the attractiveness of gold, are being closely watched. The rejection of a ceasefire offer by Israel from Hamas underscores persistent geopolitical tensions, sustaining the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset. The downgrade of New York Community Bancorp to junk status by Moody’s highlights growing concerns in both the U.S. regional and global banking sectors. Key U.S. economic data, including the upcoming weekly jobless claims and an inflation report, are being closely monitored by investors. In the short term, the gold market is poised between competing influences: geopolitical safe-haven demand and expectations regarding U.S. interest rates.
