Gold (XAU/USD) prices fell below $2,770 at the time of writing on Monday (1/27) after a weekend full of headlines and a busy week of central bank interest rate decisions coming up. Over the weekend, markets understood why US President Donald Trump has been loosening up on the use of tariffs as a tool. It appears that tariffs will be used as leverage, for example, for countries that refuse to accept deported US immigrants who are being taken back to their home countries.
Colombia felt the impact on Sunday when President Trump ordered emergency tariffs of 25%, and increased to 50% within a week, because the country did not comply with President Trump's deportation demands. However, the White House later confirmed that "Colombia has agreed to all of President Donald Trump's terms, including the unrestricted admission of all illegal immigrants from Colombia who are being returned from the US," and that Trump's proposed tariffs are "now on hold."
Later this week, the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB) will decide on their policy interest rates on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. Meanwhile, a Chinese open-source AI startup has spooked markets and called into question the high valuations of tech stocks like Nvidia, which dragged the Nasdaq down. (AL)
