XAUUSD
The price of gold (XAU/USD) is experiencing a remarkable surge on Friday due to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Israel-Palestine conflict. In times of uncertainty, traders are turning to the precious metal as a safe haven, while the US dollar (USD) is also strengthening.
The escalation of the conflict in Gaza has led Israel to shift its focus from aerial to ground operations, causing an increase in geopolitical tensions and strengthening safe-haven assets.
The worsening consumer sentiment in the United States and the dovish comments made by Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker have added pressure to US Treasury yields.
