Gold is regaining confidence on Thursday as the poor performance of the US Dollar (USD) becomes the dominant driver of price action.
With XAU/USD trading near $3,340 in the European session at the time of writing, the yellow metal continues to display signs of resiliency.
Despite a risk-on tone being adopted by global markets, declines in the Gold price have been limited. This is largely attributed to a decrease in confidence in the Greenback, which has come under scrutiny in recent months.
Investors' focus has now shifted to the timing of when the Fed will begin to cut interest rates, which brings the US economic calendar back into the spotlight.
At 12:30 GMT, the final Gross Domestic Product (GDP) number for the first quarter, weekly Initial Jobless Claims numbers and Durable Goods Orders for May will be released. Pending Home Sales for the month of May are scheduled to be published at 14:00 GMT, which will be followed by additional comments from several Fed speakers.
Additionally, with US President Donald Trump resuming his criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell on Wednesday, further comments will be closely monitored.
