Forecast for Gold Price: XAU/USD seeks another run above $1,825 despite USD recovery

Gold price is nearing six-month highs while maintaining gains above the major resistance level of $1,825 thus far on Tuesday. The gold price is continuing its recent increase at the start of 2023, despite the general strengthening of the US dollar.

 

Concerns about a probable global economic slowdown, China's covid comeback, and rising inflation are dragging on market mood, hence pushing demand for the traditional safe-haven Gold price. Expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would continue its tightening cycle this year to combat rising inflation maintain investor mood generally negative.

 

The risk-off movements are also assisting the US Dollar in finding a floor, limiting the precious metal's advance. In addition, US Treasury bond yields ended the final week of 2022 on a positive note, reducing the Gold price's ability to rise.

 

The S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for December, the first relevant US economic data to be issued this year, will provide additional trade impetus. In addition, markets will closely watch the Wall Street opening for further risk sentiment indicators.
