XAUUSD amid rising political tensions
업데이트됨
Gold prices (XAU/USD) hovered around $1,950 after retreating from the two-month high of $1,962 in early Asian trading on Thursday. The precious metal's rebound was bolstered by escalating political tensions in the Middle East, driving the flow towards safe-haven assets.
Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index (DXY), measuring the USD against six major currencies, rose to 106.55. US Treasury yields surged, with the 10-year Treasury bond yield reaching 4.911%, the highest since 2007, while the 2-year Treasury bond yield remained at 5.229%.
On Wednesday, Federal Reserve officials reiterated their stance on maintaining interest rates. These comments pushed US bond yields higher, reflecting strong growth prospects in the US. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller stated that it's too early to determine if there's a need for further policy rate actions, suggesting a wait-and-see approach. New York Fed President John Williams emphasized the central bank's need for a gradual monetary policy to curb inflation, indicating that the policy trajectory depends on data.
Moreover, the ongoing political conflict between Israel and Hamas remains a focal point. Gaza authorities reported Israeli airstrikes killing 500 people at a Palestinian hospital on Tuesday, while Israel claimed the casualties resulted from a Palestinian attack. Escalating political tensions in the Middle East and market instability might drive demand for traditional safe-haven assets like gold.
Gold traders will monitor the US Unemployment Claims and Philly Fed Index, as well as Existing Home Sales data later on Thursday. Additionally, Fed Chair Powell is expected to deliver a speech. Market participants will interpret signals from the data, seeking trading opportunities around gold prices.
