Gold price (XAU/USD) prolongs the uptrend for the fourth consecutive day and climbs to a nearly two-week high, around the $3,344-3,345 area during the Asian session on Thursday.
Investors remain on edge following the US sovereign credit rating downgrade by Moody's and growing worries about rising US deficit on the back of US President Donald Trump's sweeping tax bill. Moreover, renewed US-China trade tensions, along with geopolitical risks, hit the global risk sentiment and continue to benefit the safe-haven precious metal.
Meanwhile, a poor response to the 20-year US bond auction reinforced the view that market participants are shying away from US assets.
Apart from this, the growing market acceptance that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will lower borrowing costs further in 2025 amid easing inflationary pressures and a sluggish economic growth outlook contributes to the prevalent US Dollar (USD) selling bias.
This turns out to be another factor driving flows towards the non-yielding Gold price and supports prospects for a further near-term appreciating move.
