Gold is currently trading around $2,649 USD, showing little movement compared to the same time during yesterday’s session.
Looking ahead, there’s a possibility that gold could drop to the $2,600 USD/ounce level. However, the safe-haven demand, fueled by concerns over geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, is likely to help gold regain its strength quickly.
In the short term, gold may continue its consolidation phase, much like the past few weeks, as it navigates between Middle Eastern conflict and the Federal Reserve’s monetary easing policies.
On a more optimistic note, while the surge of the USD and strong economic data could have pushed gold lower, the recent decline has been relatively shallow. This suggests that the buying interest in gold is far from over.
