XAUUSD forecast: key trading points
- Gold (XAUUSD) continues its upward trend, pausing only for brief consolidations
- Global investors remain focused on safe-haven assets
- XAUUSD forecast for 15 April 2025: 3,246
Fundamental analysis
Gold (XAUUSD) is trading near 3,220 USD on Tuesday.
The primary driver for gold remains the heightened level of market uncertainty linked to US trade policy. While new tariffs are currently on pause and trade talks are ongoing, the Trump administration has shifted focus to auto parts — considering removing them from the list of high-tariff items.
Still, that remains speculative. Meanwhile, attention has shifted to key import sectors like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors, which may soon face increased tariffs. These sectors are substantial, and the prospect of new duties has fuelled demand for safe-haven assets like gold.
Another solid support for gold comes from expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut — markets are currently pricing in around 86 basis points of easing in 2025. Lower interest rates typically benefit gold by reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets.
The short-term outlook for XAUUSD remains positive.
