Gold Weekly Market Outlook & Trading GuidanceGold vs US DollarPEPPERSTONE:XAUUSDAvaTaylorGold Weekly Market Outlook & Trading Guidance 🏦 The Fed's ultra-hawkish policy has been implemented, significantly prolonging the high-interest-rate cycle (core negative factor): The March FOMC decision maintained the benchmark interest rate unchanged, the dot plot clearly indicates only one rate cut in 2026, seven Fed officials supported no rate cuts throughout the year, and Powell publicly stated that there would be no rate cuts until inflation targets are met, even mentioning the possibility of restarting rate hikes, completely overturning previous market expectations of easing. As a non-interest-bearing asset, the opportunity cost of holding gold continues to soar, with funds shifting massively from gold to high-yield assets such as the US dollar and US Treasuries. This core suppressive logic will continue to intensify next week, with no signs of substantial easing. 📊 This week's trading was good, but next week the bearish trend in the gold market will remain absolutely dominant: The three core negative factors—the Fed's high interest rates, the strong US dollar and US Treasuries, and the technical breakdown—remain unchanged. The bulls only have weak momentum from oversold technical repairs and low-level buying support, lacking any trend reversal momentum. The overall pattern is "weak oscillation, range-bound trading, rebounds encountering resistance, and primarily shorting at higher levels." In terms of trading, avoid blindly buying on short-term rebounds and adhere to the core principle of trend trading. ⏰ I will share my strategies daily.
