Geopolitics Fail to Lift Gold as Dollar Regains Momentum

54
XAUUSD GOLD Gold trades near $3,300, respecting TL1 trendline resistance. A break below the $3,289 level may trigger a deeper pullback toward the key $3,247 support zone. On the flip side, reclaiming $3,315 could open the path toward $3,342 resistance.

On the news front, despite escalating Russia–Ukraine tensions and a record drone strike from Moscow, gold failed to gain. Risk sentiment improved after President Trump postponed the 50% EU tariff deadline, lifting both the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields. U.S. consumer confidence also surprised to the upside at 98.0 in May, dampening safe-haven demand.

Markets now await the Fed’s May Meeting Minutes, which may reinforce the cautious hawkish stance. This poses near-term downside risk to gold if policy flexibility remains limited.

  • Resistance : $3,315 , $3,342
