Gold & Precious Metals

Summary

Gold rebounded on easing geopolitical tensions: Gold (XAU/USD) surged 3% as optimism over a potential US–Iran peace deal reduced stagflation fears and increased expectations that the Fed could eventually pivot toward rate cuts, weakening the US dollar.

Technical and intermarket signals remain cautious: Despite the rally, gold remains one of the weaker-performing major assets since late February, while firm US 10-year real yields above 1.85% continue to limit upside momentum by raising the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets.

Near-term bearish bias still intact: Gold’s rebound stalled near the downward-sloping 20-day and 50-day moving averages and close to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, while RSI momentum indicators flashed bearish divergence, keeping resistance at 4,775 in focus.
