Fundamental Overview

No major news has driven the gold rally this week, but a key technical breakout may have boosted bullish sentiment.

The absence of bearish factors supports ongoing demand, as the market adjusts its expectations for aggressive rate cuts that previously affected gold by raising real yields.

Overall, gold is in a bullish trend, with falling real yields expected during the Federal Reserve’s easing phase. Any pullbacks will likely be linked to changes in rate cut expectations, but the uptrend seems secure unless the Fed’s stance shifts significantly.

A potential risk for gold prices is the upcoming US election. A Trump win could increase real yields by raising growth expectations and reducing the likelihood of rate cuts, so keep an eye on that.
