Gold Price Outlook: XAU/USD

The price of gold may consolidate over the remainder of the month as it’s little changed from the start of the week, but bullion may continue to track the positive slope in the 50-Day SMA ($2882) as it still holds above the moving average.

Gold Price Halts Decline from Record High Ahead of Trump Tariffs

The recent weakness in the price of gold may turn out to be temporary as it halts the decline from the record high ($3058), and the precious metal may continue to benefit from the shift in US trade policy as President Donald Trump plans to impose reciprocal tariffs on April 2.

With that said, fears of a trade war may keep the price of gold afloat as it offers an alternative to fiat-currencies, but the precious metal may continue to give back the advance from the start of the month if it fails to defend the weekly low ($3003).
