Is Gold Poised to Break Through US$4,500?
Gold prices strengthened ahead of the European session, trading around US$4,272 per troy ounce at the time of writing—nearing a seven-week high. The metal is supported by a weakening US dollar, falling bond yields, and diminished expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes following data showing a slowdown in US private-sector employment.
Heading into the European session, gold maintains a bullish bias, though further gains may be limited given that prices have risen for four consecutive sessions. The market is also turning cautious ahead of upcoming US labor market data. As long as prices hold above the US$4,240–US$4,250 range, gold has the potential to test levels between US$4,280 and US$4,300; conversely, a drop below this area could trigger a short-term correction.
