Ahead of the weekend, XAU/USD climbed to the round $4,200 level, gaining more than 1.4% on lower Treasury yields and a softer dollar. Recent U.S. data showed rising household pessimism about the economy, while investors increasingly expect the Federal Reserve to hold rates steady.
The University of Michigan consumer-sentiment index for October fell to 46.3, below September's 48.1 and the 47.6 consensus. Americans revised up inflation expectations: one-year expectations rose from 4.6% to 4.7%, and five-year expectations edged from 3.4% to 3.5%.
These figures point to potentially weaker consumer spending ahead, but Federal Reserve officials still view the economy as resilient, citing strong labor-market readings.
Wednesday's FOMC minutes showed unanimous support among voting members for the rate increase but revealed differences over the future path of policy. Some participants viewed the move as precautionary while others saw it as the start of a tightening cycle. Governor Christopher Waller supported further hikes but stressed they need not occur at every meeting. St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem argued that record-high inflation and labor-market strength require the Fed's focus on price control.
Traders have effectively ruled out an October hike: the market prices in roughly an 81% probability that the Fed funds rate will remain in the 3.75%–4.00% range. Prime Terminal data show an about 81% chance of a 25 bp hike in December.
The 10-year Treasury yield ticked up 1.3 bps to 5.248%, which keeps pressure on the dollar. The DXY dollar index rose 0.18% to 102.22.
Renewed Middle East tensions also support the dollar. The U.S.–Iran conflict remains unresolved despite President Trump's statement that he does not plan actions against Iran before the midterms. Attacks continue in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Houthis laid mines in the Bab-el-Mandeb in the Red Sea, disrupting shipping.
Because geopolitics drives market volatility, traders should focus on the geopolitical picture, oil prices, U.S. Treasury yields, and the dollar. Upcoming data on consumer and producer inflation, retail sales, Fed speeches, and labor-market reports will also guide direction.
Technical view: the downtrend in gold faces a potential threat. Buyers stepped in near last Friday's low at $4,130 and pushed prices to a daily high of $4,207, after which price stabilized below $4,200. Oscillators remain negative, so bears still have the edge. However, a clean break above $4,200 would meet resistance at the 20-day SMA and then the 100-day SMA; overcoming those would shift the market to a mildly bullish stance. On the downside, support sits at $4,150–$4,130, with $4,100 as the next level below.
