Gold did rise on Monday, driven by a weaker US dollar and falling US bond yields, plus demand for safe haven assets ahead of a key data week.
But entering the US session, gold began to lose momentum and retreat from its intraday peak, as evidenced by XAU/USD falling back below $4,350 after briefly testing that level (although still holding above $4,300).
The main reasons are usually simple: profit-taking (the price has risen sharply, near resistance), plus the market starting to "tidy up" as all eyes await US jobs (NFP) and inflation data, which will signal the direction of interest rates.
Furthermore, the Fed's narrative remains mixed: some officials sound more cautious about easing, while John Williams says the current policy is "well-positioned" and inflation is projected to slow in 2026, so market participants tend to be cautious until the data is released. (Cay)
