World gold price

At 4:30 a.m., the world gold price listed on Kitco was around 3,347.90 USD/ounce, up 9.60 USD/ounce.

Gold prices are still in a tug-of-war situation due to the lack of strong enough driving factors, in the context of the USD maintaining its strength and the Fed's monetary policy has not changed. Although gold still maintains an important support level, short-term profit-taking and the wait-and-see mentality from investors have limited the upside momentum.

The continued strength of the USD is a major obstacle for gold, as investors tend to prioritize income-producing assets such as the USD over gold. As the FED has not yet made a move to lower interest rates, the USD still holds the upper hand, while gold is unlikely to escape the sideways state. In addition, the US economy is still showing positive signals, not weak enough to force the FED to change policy.

Some investors are hoping for a surprise scenario like Mr. Trump returning and replacing the FED Chairman, which could open up the possibility of loosening monetary policy. However, this is unlikely to happen in the short term due to institutional constraints. Currently, the gold market is still waiting for a big enough change to create a new turning point.
