GOLD
Gold remained steady at approximately $2,040 per ounce on Tuesday following heightened volatility in the previous session. In that session, the price of gold surged by over 5% to surpass $2,140 before undergoing a dramatic reversal and ultimately closing down by 2% around $2,030. These fluctuations occurred as market expectations increased, anticipating that the U.S. Federal Reserve would maintain interest rates at their current level during this month's meeting and potentially initiate rate cuts in the upcoming year. Traders initially doubled down on their bets despite Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's rejection of “premature” monetary easing talks, before abruptly unloading those positions. Investors now await Friday's US monthly jobs report, which could provide clues about the future path of interest rates.

VISION OF THE ANALYSTS
Without a doubt, yesterday was a unique day for gold that has led it to a perfect retracement in the fibonacci, reaching 38.2 and we now hope that this retracement can deepen a little more for the coming days due to the large bearish candle and in especially with the non-agricultural report for Friday, which could come out high. For now we see strong resistance in the area of $2,070 usd for the instrument while the most marked supports are in the area of $2,020 and if it breaks that area strongly it could go looking for $1,982 which would mark the 50% retracement while that 61.8 would be in the area of $1,941. Although the conflict in Palestine persists, it is not giving as much relevance at this time to the movements of gold, which are rather market reactions to the future of interest rates in the United States due to the low CPI data in the country, as at a global level, in recent times.


Entering 2026, diverging central bank policies are reshaping global FX and bond markets, while economic momentum shifts from developed economies toward India. Meanwhile, an upcoming leadership transition at the US Federal Reserve presents a key underappreciated risk that could trigger renewed volatility in interest rates and the US dollar.

Malaysia’s retail gold prices have hit record highs, with 999 fine gold reaching RM700 per gram and 916 gold rising to RM650, driven by surging global gold prices, geopolitical tensions, and growing expectations of further US interest rate cuts.

XAU/USD (Spot Gold) suffered a catastrophic session, plummeting over $100, while Silver crashed 7.00%. The violent sell-off in precious metals marks a sharp decoupling from geopolitical risks, driven by a wave of profit-taking and an aggressive surge in "Risk-On" sentiment across equity markets.

The precious metals market staged a historic rally on Monday, with Spot Gold flirting with the $4,550 per ounce level and Silver skyrocketing over 5% to breach $83. The frenzy has triggered immediate risk management measures from the CME Group, while analysts point to aggressive Federal Reserve easing bets for 2026 as the primary driver.
