Gold halts winning streak, ending last week’s rally

출처 Fxstreet
  • Gold price halts winning streak on Monday as markets catch up on the Nonfarm Payrolls release. 
  • Traders and investors remain cautious and favor safe-haven assets such as Gold and the US Dollar. 
  • Gold to test support before continuing its rally again. 

Gold’s price (XAU/USD) takes a step back and halts its four-day winning streak on Monday as markets catch up and reprice the recent US Nonfarm Payrolls release. The report further confirms the narrative that the Federal Reserve (Fed) might keep its policy rate higher for longer. While higher borrowing costs are typically negative for the non-interest-bearing precious metal, investors are bracing for more volatility ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House on January 20. 

On the economic data front, there is a relatively calm trading day ahead, with the dust settling further after the recent US Nonfarm Payrolls release. This Monday, the US Treasury will allocate some short-term bonds to the market.

Technical Analysis: Critical moment

Gold has broken through a strong pennant formation, which was mentioned several times last week. Despite all the headwinds from higher yields and a stronger US Dollar (USD), the Bullion was able to still power through. Now support nearby needs to hold to avoid the Gold price from falling back into the pennant and resulting in a false break with the risk of more downside at hand. 

On the downside, the descending trend line near $$2,678 should hold as support to avoid re-entry in the pennant formation. The 55-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $2,652 is the next support after it saw a daily close above it on Wednesday. Further down, the 100-day SMA at $2,635 is the next in line.

On the upside, $2,708 is the next pivotal level to look out for. Once that level is cleared, though still quite far off, $2,790 is the key upside level, which would be a fresh all-time high.

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.
