Gold Strengthens, Supported by a Weaker Dollar

Gold prices rose during Monday's trading (August 17), with XAU/USD returning to the vicinity of US$4,400 per troy ounce. The precious metal's gains were primarily driven by a weakening US dollar, as softer US economic data led market participants to scale back expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. This environment dampened the dollar's appeal while allowing gold to maintain its positive momentum.

Beyond the dollar and Fed policy, geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East continues to support demand for safe-haven assets. However, rising oil prices stemming from tensions around the Strait of Hormuz remain a factor to watch, as they could reignite inflation concerns and sustain the Fed's hawkish stance.

Gold price at the time of this analysis: $4,421

- Buy if the price moves to $4,431

- Sell if the price moves to $4,407

 

Resistance 2: $4,465

Resistance 1: $4,441

 

Support 1: $4,393

Support 2: $4,369
