Gold Steady at Start of European Session
Monday, 17 February 2025 17:37 WIB | MARKET ANALYSIS |

Gold (XAU/USD) maintained its bid tone around the $2,900 round-figure mark through the first half of the European session on Monday, albeit lacked any follow-through and remained below its all-time peaks touched last week. Investors remained concerned that US President Donald Trump's tariffs could trigger a global trade war. This turned out to be a key factor that continued to benefit the bullion as a safe-haven asset.

Meanwhile, growing market acceptance that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will stick to its hawkish stance and keep interest rates on hold for an extended period helped revive demand for the US Dollar (USD).

Additionally, optimism over talks between the US and Russia aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, along with a positive risk tone, kept a lid on any further appreciating move for Gold.
