Gold prices rebounded, crossing 2,620 USD per troy ounce on Tuesday, as the US dollar weakened, and investors sought clarity on the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy direction. The likelihood of a Fed rate cut in December currently stands at 59%, reflecting a slight decline from previous days.
Market participants also closely monitor potential cabinet picks by US President-elect Donald Trump, whose protectionist policies could influence gold prices. Anticipating critical appointments that may shape Trump’s economic policies adds to market sensitivity.
Growing geopolitical tensions worldwide heighten demand for safe-haven assets, boosting gold’s appeal. After recent declines, the fundamental factors supporting gold’s longer-term ascent are prompting investors to engage at current levels they perceive as attractive.

H4 chart: The market has completed a correction to 2,537 on the H4 chart and is now poised for a growth wave aiming for 2,688. If this target is reached, a potential retracement to 2,610 may occur before a further push towards 2,790.
