XAUUSD

Hello dear colleagues, what do you think the closing price of gold will be today?

Last night, the price of gold decreased despite the sharp decline in the US dollar. Normally, a weaker US dollar would support an increase in the price of gold. However, in the last session, it defied market norms with a decline in the USD due to forecasts showing durable goods orders in the US dropping from 0% in the previous month to -4.7% in January, and core durable goods orders falling from 0.6% to 0.2%.

Despite gloomy economic forecasts, the stock market remains surprisingly optimistic. Globally, US and Japanese stocks have been continuously setting new records at the beginning of this year. With a 7% increase since the end of 2023, money is shifting from traditional safe havens like gold to stocks, potentially setting the stage for a recovery in the price of gold.
