Gold price pares intraday losses, remains below $3,400 amid receding safe-haven demand
Friday, 8 August 2025 15:50 WIB | GOLD |GOLD

Gold price (XAU/USD) trims a part of modest intraday losses, though remains depressed below the $3,400 mark and over a two-week high touched earlier this Friday.

Against the backdrop of the upbeat market mood, a modest US Dollar (USD) uptick prompts some profit-taking around the commodity following the recent move higher over the past week or so. However, a combination of factors helps limit the downside for the precious metal.

US President Donald Trump's fresh tariff threats this week keep investors on edge and continue to act as a tailwind for the safe-haven Gold price.

Furthermore, the growing acceptance that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will resume its rate-cutting cycle in September keeps a lid on any meaningful USD gains and further offers some support to the non-yielding yellow metal. This warrants caution before placing bearish bets around the XAU/USD pair.
