Odaily Planet Daily News: Gold prices remain above $5000. This support mainly comes from the safe-haven demand triggered by ongoing geopolitical risks, as well as widespread selling of currencies and sovereign bonds by investors. Investors are currently closely watching the U.S. consumer confidence data set to be released later on Tuesday, as well as Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech on Wednesday. FP Markets analyst Aaron Hill stated that if Powell clearly counters political pressure, demonstrating a firm stance to defend the independence of the Federal Reserve, it could boost the dollar in the short term; whereas if his statements lean towards supporting gradual rate cuts, it could further suppress the dollar's movement.
