Key Takeaways:

*The U.S. Dollar eased from recent highs as lower crude oil prices reduced some concerns over renewed inflation pressures.

*Treasury yields stabilised following their recent sharp rise, encouraging profit-taking in the greenback.

*Attention now turns to the upcoming U.S. CPI report, which could determine the next move in Treasury yields, the dollar and gold.

Market Summary:

The U.S. Dollar pulled back modestly while remaining near recent highs, as softer crude oil prices eased some concerns over another acceleration in global inflation. Lower energy prices also helped Treasury yields stabilize following their recent sharp rise, reducing part of the yield-driven support that had strengthened the greenback.

With limited major catalysts at the start of the week, the dollar’s latest decline appears largely driven by profit-taking and a technical correction following its recent rally. However, the broader outlook remains closely tied to U.S. inflation and Federal Reserve policy expectations.

Meanwhile, gold prices rebounded as the U.S. Dollar softened and Treasury yields eased, reducing some of the pressure on non-yielding bullion. The precious metal also attracted bargain buying following its recent weakness, while lower crude oil prices helped ease concerns over renewed inflationary pressures.

Attention now turns to the upcoming U.S. CPI report. A stronger-than-expected inflation reading could push Treasury yields higher and reinforce expectations for tighter Fed policy, potentially supporting the dollar while limiting gold’s recovery. Conversely, softer inflation could extend the decline in yields and the greenback, providing further support for gold.

Technical Analysis

Gold, H4

Gold prices are trading higher, currently testing the 4,215.00 resistance level, which acts as a key near-term breakout zone.

Momentum indicators are improving, with the MACD showing diminishing bearish momentum, while the RSI at 63 remains above the midline. This suggests that gold may extend its gains if buying momentum continues.

A confirmed breakout above 4,215.00 could open the door for further upside toward the next resistance level at 4,265.00.

However, if bullish momentum fails to sustain, gold may experience a technical retracement and retest the 4,175.00 support level, followed by 4,130.00 if selling pressure strengthens.

Resistance Levels: 4215.00, 4265.00

Support Levels: 4,175.00, 4130.00
