Investors appear increasingly reluctant to sell gold simply because inflation expectations have risen. If concerns about slowing economic growth begin to outweigh inflation fears, gold's defensive qualities could once again become the primary driver of prices. A sustained breakout above the $4,200-$4,300 range could signal a more durable return of investor capital to precious metals. Conversely, a move below $3,900 would suggest that a stronger U.S. dollar, higher Treasury yields, and renewed inflation concerns have once again become the dominant market drivers.
The most bullish scenario for gold would involve a gradual easing of tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, accompanied by lower oil prices and, consequently, an increasingly dovish Federal Reserve. However, that outcome is far from certain. The oil market could remain structurally tight for an extended period, potentially keeping bond yields elevated and the U.S. dollar stronger, both of which would likely continue to weigh on gold.
GOLD (D1 interval)
The technical picture still points to a prevailing downtrend, with gold trading roughly 8% below its 200-day EMA (red line). The key resistance level remains the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the winter selloff, located around $4,330 per ounce. On the downside, $3,900 remains the most important support level.
