Core Viewpoint - The fluctuations in gold prices are influenced by multiple factors, including investor behavior, inflation data, geopolitical tensions, and the performance of the US dollar [1][10]. Group 1: Investor Behavior - The phenomenon of buying on dips acts as an invisible "safety net" in the gold market, with significant buying interest emerging when prices drop, reflecting investors' strong belief in gold as a "ultimate safe-haven asset" [3]. - After gold prices fell to a low of $3207.30 per ounce, a surge of buying interest quickly entered the market, indicating a robust demand for gold amidst economic uncertainties [3]. Group 2: Inflation Data - The US Labor Department reported a 0.2% month-on-month increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for April, which was below the expected 0.3%, providing a boost to gold prices [4]. - The mild inflation report is expected to support the Federal Reserve's potential interest rate cuts, enhancing the attractiveness of gold as a hedge against inflation [4]. Group 3: Geopolitical Tensions - Ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding the potential talks between Ukraine and Russia, continue to provide strong support for gold prices [5][6]. - The uncertainty surrounding geopolitical events reinforces the historical wisdom of buying gold during tumultuous times, as investors seek to protect their assets from potential losses [5]. Group 4: US Dollar Performance - The US dollar index fell by 0.8% to 100.98, contrasting with the rise in gold prices, highlighting the negative correlation between the two [7]. - Despite easing trade tensions between the US and China, the dollar remains lower than its level when tariffs were announced, influencing market expectations for Federal Reserve policy and subsequently gold prices [7]. Group 5: Future Outlook - Gold faces three key variables: the progress of US-China trade negotiations, the direction of Federal Reserve monetary policy, and the evolution of global geopolitical risks [8]. - The market is advised to monitor these factors closely, as they will significantly impact risk appetite and demand for gold [8].

Core Viewpoint - The recent U.S. inflation data has altered market expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, reducing concerns about interest rate hikes and enhancing the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset [3]. Fundamental Analysis - U.S. inflation data: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for April rose by 0.2% month-on-month, lower than the expected 0.3%, with a year-on-year increase of 2.3%, marking the lowest level since February 2021. This has led to a shift in market expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, supporting gold prices [3]. - Trump's statements add market uncertainty: Following the CPI report, Trump pressured Powell to lower interest rates and claimed that Saudi Arabia would invest $1 trillion in the U.S. His calls for rate cuts align with market expectations, further enhancing the attractiveness of gold amid geopolitical uncertainties [3]. - Monetary policy expectations: Weaker inflation data has strengthened market belief in the Federal Reserve's capacity for monetary policy adjustments, increasing expectations for rate cuts. This is likely to lower the opportunity cost of holding gold, attracting more funds into the gold market and supporting price increases [3]. Technical Analysis - Gold prices exhibited significant volatility, ultimately closing higher after experiencing two dips followed by recoveries. The 5-day and 10-day moving averages have formed a death cross and are trending downward, creating resistance levels at approximately 3275 and 3300, which may limit upward movement [5]. - Key support levels are identified at 3208/3207, which is crucial as it aligns with the previous low and an important support line. If this support is breached, the market outlook may shift to a bearish perspective, with 3150 as the next critical support level [7]. - Resistance levels to monitor include 3265, 3275, and 3290/3293, with further attention on 3323 and 3350 if a strong upward trend occurs [7].
