Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold price benefits from a favorable update on Trump’s tariffs
-
US President Donald Trump received a favorable update on Tuesday as a federal appeals court ruled that his “Liberation Day” tariffs can temporarily stay in effect. Last month, the US Court of International Trade blocked the implementation of Trump's tariffs, saying that the method used to enact them was unlawful.
-
The latest development comes as the US and China, following two days of talks in London, agreed on a framework to implement the Geneva Consensus and ease trade tensions. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated the deal should resolve issues between the two countries surrounding rare earths and magnets.
-
Russia continues with its strikes on Ukraine’s northeastern city of Kharkiv after rejecting an unconditional ceasefire earlier this month. Moreover, Israel continues to bombard the Gaza Strip relentlessly, keeping geopolitical risks in play and driving safe-haven flows toward the Gold price on Wednesday.
-
The stronger-than-expected US Nonfarm Payrolls report released last Friday pointed to a still resilient labor market, forcing investors to scale back their bets for an imminent interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Markets, however, are still pricing in the possibility of two rate reductions by the end of this year.
-
The US Dollar, however, remains confined to a familiar range, just above its lowest level since April 22, which it touched last week, as investors await more cues about the Fed's rate-cut path. Hence, the focus remains glued to the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report later during the North American session.
-
This will be followed by the US Producer Price Index (PPI) on Thursday, which will play a key role in influencing the near-term USD price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the commodity. In the meantime, the supportive fundamental backdrop should act as a tailwind for the XAU/USD.

Gold FAQs
Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government.
Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.
The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.
