XAUUSD: Bulls are getting stronger!

Hello everyone, let's find out the price of gold today!

Yesterday, gold prices fell sharply, with spot gold falling $45.60 to $2,883.10 an ounce. Gold futures were last trading at $2,894.60 an ounce, down $50.70 from this morning.

The main reason for the decline was profit-taking pressure. However, the precious metal still recorded its seventh consecutive weekly gain. Gold's gains this week were driven by safe-haven demand as President Donald Trump's plan to impose tariffs on countries that tax US imports raised concerns about a global trade war.

On the other hand, Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals, added that there are some technical factors at play. Gold’s failure to hit an all-time high on Tuesday may have created a double top and some profit-taking ahead of the weekend, he said. Meanwhile, gold’s rally remains supported by a number of factors including tariffs, underlying inflation and a weaker U.S. dollar.
