Market Insights

GOLD

Gold surged to new peak in London session, then reversed sharply in US session, erasing gains. This volatility indicates profit-taking and rejection at highs, conflicting with long-term safe-haven demand from US shutdown risk, splitting sentiment.

Major resistance: $50.00. Near-term resistance: $47.49; floor: $46.45.

Bias: Neutral/Correction, with consolidation near $47.00 as market processes rejection.
