Daily Gold (XAU\/USD)<\/p>\n
Price action now hinges on trader reaction to the short-term pivot at $3083.65. Holding above this level could trigger a move back toward $3111.02 and potentially a retest of $3167.84. However, a sustained move below $3083.65 and a break under Thursday\u2019s low at $3054.19 would confirm the reversal pattern, setting up a deeper correction toward initial support at $3000.28. The 50-day moving average at $2939.52 remains a critical level, controlling the longer-term trend and acting as a potential dip-buying zone.<\/p>\n
El-Erian Flags Rising Recession and Inflation Risks<\/p>\n
Macro concerns continue to support the case for gold. Allianz Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian warned Friday that the probability of a U.S. recession has risen to 50%, driven by slowing growth and aggressive trade policy. He also noted that inflation expectations are increasing, with core PCE \u2014 the Fed\u2019s preferred inflation gauge \u2014 posting its biggest monthly gain in over a year.<\/p>\n
Despite markets pricing in four rate cuts, El-Erian pushed back on that view, suggesting that only one \u2014 or possibly none \u2014 may materialize. If the Fed stays restrictive while growth slows, real yields could soften, a tailwind for gold prices.<\/p>\n
Gold Prices Forecast: Correction May Offer Buying Opportunity<\/p>\n
While gold faces near-term technical weakness, the broader trend remains bullish. Elevated inflation, rising recession odds, and equity market stress continue to underpin the metal\u2019s safe-haven appeal.<\/p>\n
A pullback toward $3000 or even the 50-day MA around $2940 could present value for dip buyers. As long as gold holds above this longer-term support, the market retains upside potential, with a break above $3111.02 likely to revive bullish momentum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daily Gold (XAU\/USD) Price action now hinges on trader reaction to the short-term pivot at $3083.65.
