In early trading in Asia on Friday (April 26), gold fluctuated within a narrow range around the 2330 key point. The United States announced an unexpected slowdown in economic growth in the first quarter and higher-than-expected inflation. The US dollar was hit, and gold rose by more than $16. The United States After the GDP data was released, the price of gold soared to 2344. In addition, the geopolitical situation is also conducive to the rebound of gold prices. Israeli media reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved a plan to launch a ground operation in the southern city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip.
For gold, the price gains come after falling almost 3% over the past week as traders lowered their assessment of expanding tensions in the Middle East. Weak GDP data could also lead to a reassessment of the Fed's stance on keeping interest rates higher for the longer term. The GDP data also dampened hopes for a soft landing for the U.S. economy. A soft landing is a scenario in which the Fed is able to achieve price stability while avoiding a recession. Meanwhile, a strong personal consumption expenditures price index (PCE) rose 3.4%, which may mean a further delay in interest rate cuts.
Currently, as tensions in the Middle East gradually ease, safe-haven demand for gold remains weak in the short term. Additionally, the current chart setup suggests that gold prices are on the back foot after this week’s steep decline. Looking ahead, investors will focus on core Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE) data for March, which will guide the next move in gold prices.
