XAU/USD rises to $4,415 in early trading after weaker US economic data lowers expectations for further Fed tightening.
Gold prices advanced to near $4,415 during Tuesday’s early Asian session, extending gains as softer US economic data reduced expectations for additional Federal Reserve rate hikes. The precious metal’s rally reflects shifting market sentiment amid cooling inflation signals.
Prior to this move, gold had struggled to sustain levels above $4,400, with traders weighing Fed policy cues and geopolitical risks. The latest data print contrasts with earlier hawkish Fed commentary, fueling speculation that the central bank may pause its tightening cycle.
Traders remain focused on Middle East developments, which could further influence safe-haven demand for gold.
