What moves the market today: the price of gold is still pressed by commercial optimism
The president of the USA, Donald Trump, said Monday that he does not see that tariffs on Chinese imports return to 145% after the 90 -day pause. In an interview with Fox News earlier on Wednesday, Trump said that the relationship with China is excellent, which adds to commercial optimism and undermines the price of gold as a safe refuge during the Asian session.
In the Geopolitical Front, Russia and Ukraine are scheduled for their first high -level face to face from 2022 in Istanbul this week, in the midst of a growing demand for Russia to accept a high 30 -day fire. On the part of the US, it is expected that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the special envoys Steve Witkoff and Keith Kellogg attend negotiations.
The Israeli army said that he intercepted a hypersonic ballistic missile shot by the Militia Houthi group aligned with Iran to Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv since Yemen on Tuesday night. This maintains the geopolitical risks at stake and could stop the operators of opening aggressive bearish positions around the Xau/Usd torque.
The US Labor Statistics Office (BLS) reported that the general consumer price index (CPI) dropped to 2.3% year -on -year in April from 2.4% of the previous month. Meanwhile, the underlying IPC, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, coincided with consensus estimates and rose 2.8% in annual terms in April.
The operators are still valuing the possibility that the Federal Reserve reduces the indebtedness costs at 56 basic points in 2025. This does not help the US dollar to attract significant buyers after the setback of Tuesday from a maximum of a month and should contribute to limit the deepest losses for yellow metal without yield.
There are no relevant economic data that move the market scheduled for publication from the US on Wednesday, leaving the USD at the mercy of the scheduled speeches of Fed officials. Apart from this, the feeling of broader risk will play a key role in the production of short -term trading opportunities around the raw material.

FAQS GOLD
Gold has played a fundamental role in the history of mankind, since it has been widely used as a deposit of value and a half of exchange. At present, apart from its brightness and use for jewelry, precious metal is considered an active refuge, which means that it is considered a good investment in turbulent times. Gold is also considered a coverage against inflation and depreciation of currencies, since it does not depend on any specific issuer or government.
Central banks are the greatest gold holders. In their objective of supporting their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy gold to improve the perception of strength of the economy and currency. High gold reserves can be a source of trust for the solvency of a country. Central banks added 1,136 tons of gold worth 70,000 million to their reservations in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. It is the largest annual purchase since there are records. The central banks of emerging economies such as China, India and Türkiye are rapidly increasing their gold reserves.
Gold has a reverse correlation with the US dollar and US Treasury bonds, which are the main reserve and shelter assets. When the dollar depreciates, the price of gold tends to rise, which allows investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rebound in the stock market tends to weaken the price of gold, while mass sales in higher risk markets tend to favor precious metal.
The price of gold can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fear of a deep recession can cause the price of gold to rise rapidly due to its condition of active refuge. As an asset without yield, the price of gold tends to rise when interest rates lower, while the money increases to the yellow metal. Even so, most movements depend on how the US dollar (USD) behaves, since the asset is quoted in dollars (Xau/USD). A strong dollar tends to keep the price of gold controlled, while a weakest dollar probably thrusts gold prices.
