Gold prices rally on US President Trump's rhetoric, haven demand
Wednesday, 29 January 2025 04:10 WIB | GOLD |GOLD

Gold prices bounced off after refreshing four-day lows and rose on Tuesday as United States (US) equities recovered following Monday's sell-off, while the precious metal benefited from safe-haven flows. Trade comments by US President Donald Trump keep investors nervous, which turned to the yellow metal, as XAU/USD is seen changing hands at $2,763, up by 0.88% at the time of writing.
Scott Bessent, appointed by Trump as US Treasury Secretary, was approved by the Senate. He said that he supports universal tariffs on imports, which would start at 2.5% and could be gradually increased. However, Trump said that he wants much larger tariffs, adding that if companies don't like duties, they should produce in the United States.
Trump added fuel to the "trade war" saying that he will apply tariffs to chips, pharmaceuticals, steel, aluminum and copper. After those comments, Bullion consolidated near the $2,730 – $2,744 range before rallying past the $2,750 figure as traders eyed the record-high at $2,790.

Safe-haven flows boosted the Greenback, as the US Dollar Index (DXY) hit a daily peak at around 108.05 before reversing to 107.92 and it is now up 0.47%.
Data-wise, US Durable Goods Orders were mixed, as total figures contracted deeper for the second straight month, while core orders improved, according to the US Department of Commerce. The Conference Board (CB) revealed that Consumer Confidence deteriorated in December, as Americans are concerned about the labor market.
Ahead of the week, the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has begun its two-day meeting, in which the Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to hold rates as the disinflation process has halted. This, along with Trump's 2.0 controversial trade policies, suggests that Fed officials could be patient in assessing its impact on monetary policy.

Gold prices rose as US Real yields remain firm. The 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) yield sits at 2.128%, unchanged on Tuesday.
The US 10-year Treasury bond yield edges up one bps during the day to 4.538%.
US Durable Goods Orders fell sharply by -2.2% MoM in December, significantly missing the expected 0.8% increase and worsening from November's -2% decline.
The Conference Board reported that US Consumer Confidence dropped to 104.1, falling short of analysts' expectations of 105.6. All five components of the index showed deterioration.
Money market futures, based on CME FedWatch Tool data, have priced in 54 basis points of Federal Reserve rate cuts for 2025.(Cay) Newsmaker23
