Fundamental Analysis The US dollar (USD) extended its recovery from its lowest level since July 2023 and advanced to a three-week high amid fading prospects of more aggressive easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This, in turn, was seen as a major factor undermining demand for the non-yielding yellow metal, although continued tensions in the Middle East helped limit losses.
Iran launched more than 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday, while Israel conducted a precision airstrike and bombed the center of Beirut in Lebanon early Thursday. This raised the risk of a full-blown war in the region and dampened investor appetite for riskier assets, which was reflected in the generally weaker tone in equity markets and acted as a boost to safe-haven gold prices. The US economic agenda on Thursday could provide some impetus for XAU/USD, although the focus will still be on the US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report on Friday.
