What Drives Intraday Gold Price Moves

Gold prices fluctuate throughout the trading day based on several key factors:

  • Dollar Strength: Gold typically moves inversely to the US Dollar Index (DXY). A weaker dollar makes gold cheaper for foreign buyers, increasing demand.
  • Treasury Yields: Rising real interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, creating downward pressure on prices.
  • Geopolitical Events: Uncertainty drives safe-haven demand. Watch for tensions in Ukraine, Middle East developments, and US-China relations.
  • Economic Data: CPI inflation reports, Fed meeting minutes, and NFP employment data cause significant volatility. Gold often rallies on weak economic data that increases rate cut expectations.
  • Technical Levels: Major support and resistance levels act as magnets. Current key levels: support at $4,875, resistance at $4,985.
  • Market Hours: Highest liquidity during London (3am-12pm ET) and New York (8am-5pm ET) sessions. Asian session often sets the initial tone.
