Gold Strengthens Ahead of US Data, Dollar Tested

Gold prices strengthened on Thursday (February 19th), regaining ground above the psychological $5,000/oz level as safe-haven demand increased amid escalating US-Iran tensions. Meanwhile, US gold futures rose to $5,025.10/oz, supported by market concerns that escalating conflict in the Middle East could increase risk premiums.

Meanwhile, market participants remain closely monitoring the direction of the Fed's policy after the minutes of its last meeting indicated the central bank remains cautious about cutting interest rates, potentially making gold's movements sensitive to the release of subsequent US inflation data. Expectations of interest rate cuts, which are usually positive for non-yielding assets like gold, remain supportive, but a strengthening dollar/yield could limit upside if inflation data becomes more volatile.
