XAUUSD - World gold shows no signs of cooling down

The radiant world gold price has now increased sharply with spot gold increasing by 25.8 USD, increasing to 1,972.7 USD/ounce. Gold futures last traded at $1,985.40 an ounce, up $17.10 from the bright spot.

The gold market continues to benefit as the Israel-Hamas conflict continues to intensify. In this bright trade, gold held on to gains despite Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell reiterating that interest rates will have to be higher for longer. The head of the world's most powerful central bank also emphasized making a commitment to reduce the 2% target.

Although the Fed remains committed to achieving the emission target, experts say that, given instability, the key value will increase rapidly at 2,1000 USD/ounce. Since the conflict in the Middle East began, safe haven demand has helped gold rise to nearly $120.

Sean Lusk, co-head of commercial risk at Walsh Trading, said that seasonal factors such as wedding season, holiday season, and Valentine's Day are not relevant in the current environment. Now, macroeconomic data and geopolitical instability are the factors that dominate gold's short-term direction. The US picture also continues to deteriorate in some aspects, he said. The latest CPI and PPI reports from last week as well as retail sales numbers from Wednesday all show results are returning, Lusk explained.
