$XAU Gold week gains 7.27%, surging to about $4,339/oz!
This rally might be more than just “rate-cut expectations.”
🇺🇸 July’s nonfarm payrolls data was weak → expectations for a September rate hike cool down → the US dollar and real yields come under pressure.
At the same time, safe-haven demand + fund inflows + continued central bank buying further support the gold price.
But watch out⚠️
COMEX speculative net longs have already reached about 132,400 contracts, meaning positioning is not light.
👉 If the move relies only on rate-cut expectations, the next phase will be highly dependent on US economic data;
👉 If safe-haven demand and allocation funds keep flowing in, this gold uptrend may have greater staying power.
My view: gold is currently trading a “rate cuts + safe haven” dual logic, and macro data remains the key to determining the next leg of the move. 👀
