Gold Price Eyes $3,383 Recovery Amid Fed Inflation Warnings

Gold (XAU/USD) is trading at $3,371 after the Fed’s latest interest rate decision. The Fed’s cautious tone on inflation and labor market risks has added volatility to the metal, which is often used as a hedge against economic instability. Here’s a closer look at the current technical setup and what to watch for in the coming days. Fed Caution and Trade Tensions Boost Gold Demand Gold rose on Thursday as the Fed held interest rates steady and warned of rising inflation and labor market risks.

Meanwhile, US-China trade tensions remain a key driver, with President Donald Trump saying he’s taking a hardline approach ahead of the talks. Trump’s recent comments suggested China is initiating the trade talks, which could lead to a wild market reaction. This uncertainty has historically supported gold prices as investors seek to protect their wealth during economic turmoil.
