U.S. Market Opening Update 🔥
U.S. stocks opened with a clear split: the Dow edged higher while the Nasdaq came under pressure and fell back. Market concerns that regulation of AI and data centers will continue to tighten after the Blue Wave takes hold weighed on major tech stocks across the board, dragging the Nasdaq lower. By contrast, the Golden Dragon Index bucked the trend and rallied on its own. The pullback in tech stocks boosted risk aversion, providing indirect support for gold. Volatility picked up in the evening session, so manage risk and don’t chase rallies or sell into declines blindly.

Trading plan: If gold pulls back to 4100‑4105 and stabilizes, consider a short-term long position, with a stop at 4090 and a target of 4140‑4146. If it rallies toward 4145 and repeatedly meets resistance, consider a small short position, with a stop at 4152 and a target of 4110.$XAU #XAU
