A thought-provoking shift has just appeared on the board: the gold main trend has turned from bearish to bullish. The current price of $XAU is around 4046, and several waves of safe-haven buying are working in concert to lift gold prices.
Overnight (early Thursday Beijing time), a few pieces of news came together—Trump said talks between the U.S. and Iran in Qatar are progressing smoothly, tensions in the oil-producing region have eased, and WTI crude oil promptly weakened (at one point down more than 1%). The risk premium embedded in oil prices was squeezed out. Meanwhile, U.S. stock storage and semiconductors both suffered sharp declines, with risk-off sentiment rising as funds rotated into safe-haven assets. On top of that, news that Kyiv was hit by ballistic missiles made the safe-haven theme even stronger.
For gold, it’s like two forces are pushing upward at the same time: “pressuring oil prices” and “hiding from risk.” A fall in oil prices would normally weigh on gold, but this time the drop is in the geopolitical risk premium—actually suggesting that the safe-haven main storyline is taking over the tape.
First, keep an eye on the key level: 4046, the current balance point. Only if it holds and longs are sustained can it truly be considered that the bulls have taken control. If price falls back below, then you have to doubt the quality of this reversal.
Next, focus on two things: whether the U.S.-Iran talks can genuinely result in a real easing, and whether this semiconductors selloff will spill over into a broader wave of risk-off. The main trend has just changed—don’t rush to chase. Wait for confirmation.
The direction can change fast—do you think this safe-haven logic can really hold up?
