Gold (XAU/USD) trades back below $2,500 on Monday as it corrects the gains made after it broke above resistance to a new all-time high on Friday.
The precious metal saw gains because of lingering doubts about the resilience of the US economy, simmering geopolitical tensions – particularly in the Middle East – and a weaker US Dollar, in which Gold is mostly priced.
Gold opened at around 2503 and rose to around 2505 at the highest and around 2501 at the lowest before press time.Pay attention to the resistance of 2520-2530-2540. If it fails to break through, it will test 2490-2480-2470

The Japanese Yen (JPY) strengthened against the US Dollar (USD) on Thursday, boosted by stronger-than-expected Q2 GDP growth in Japan, raising hopes for a BoJ rate hike. Despite this, the USD/JPY pair found support from higher US Treasury yields, though gains may be capped by expectations of a Fed rate cut in September.
Gold prices (XAU/USD) rebounded on Thursday after dipping below $2,500 per ounce. Expectations of US interest rate cuts and ongoing political and geopolitical tensions are boosting demand for gold, as lower rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding metal.
The Japanese Yen rose 0.7% against the US Dollar after BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda hinted at potential rate hikes. This coincided with a recovery in Asian markets, aided by stronger Chinese stocks. With the July FOMC minutes already pointing to a September rate cut, the US Dollar might edge higher into the weekend.
