📈 Gold Hits One-Week High as Safe-Haven Flows & Fed Rate-Cut Bets Strengthen

Gold (XAU/USD) pushed to a fresh one-week top, supported by heightened geopolitical tensions and growing market bets that the U.S. Federal Reserve may cut interest rates later this year — boosting safe-haven demand for the non-yielding metal.

Safe-haven demand: Price lifted by geopolitical risks including Venezuela, Middle East tension & Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Fed rate-cut expectations: Traders are pricing in multiple potential cuts in 2026, reducing the USD’s strength.

Macro focus: Markets now await the upcoming U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report for fresh direction.

Expert Insight: When macro uncertainty rises and real yields fall, gold’s appeal as a hedge and store of value tends to strengthen.
