Gold struggles for direction amid new tariff headlines
Tuesday, 8 July 2025 19:49 WIB | GOLD |GOLD

Gold (XAU/USD) remains in a well-defined range between $3,320 and $3,350 at the time of writing on Tuesday, amid a looming tariff deadline and potential trade deals.

US President Donald Trump's consistent tariff threats have temporarily muted demand for the yellow metal while supporting the demand for the Greenback. The president has announced new tariffs on countries, with Japan at 25% and South Korea at 30% standing out. He has also given a new deadline, August 1, instead of July 9.

The yellow metal is down 0.43% intraday, and the lack of conviction reflects ongoing indecision amid conflicting macro forces and stable US Treasury yields.

The recent price action has been defined by a series of lower highs and higher lows, compressing into a classic triangle structure on the daily chart. This pattern typically precedes a sharp directional move, but the breakout trigger remains elusive.

While safe-haven demand offers some underlying support, stronger-than-expected US labor market data and hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) expectations have capped any upside extension for Gold.
