The rebound of the US dollar was short-lived and near the London fix it resumed the decline, sending XAU/USD to $1,891/oz, the new cycle high. The yellow metal is hovering around $1,890, levels last seen back in 2011.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) turned again to the downside and printed a fresh four-month low below 94.80. It is falling by 0.20% and is about to test the 2020 intraday low reached on March 9 at 94.65. If it breaks below that level, it would be trading at the lowest since September 2018. The demand for gold is receiving an extra impulse from a weaker US dollar.

Gold is extending the bullish trend that remains intact, with no signs of a correction. Above $1,890, a test of $1,900 seems likely. Volatility could rise if the mentioned level is reached. Above, the next target would be the all-time high near $1,920.

XAU/USD is extending gains despite the pullback in other commodities. Silver (XAG/USD) is falling 0.40%, after being rejected from above 23.00, but it is moving off lows.

EUR/USD appears supported by the 200-day SMA, for now

Following an early pullback to multi-week lows near 1.1670, EUR/USD now manages to reclaim the 1.1700 region as the NA session draws to a close on Monday. The steep retracement in spot follows the equally strong move higher in the US Dollar, as investors continue to assess the geopolitical landscape in the wake of the US and Israel attacks on Iran.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold eases some ground, approaches $5,300

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance, reshifting its attenton to the $5,300 zone per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the yellow metal’s firm performance appears propped up by incresing geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, which at the same time fuels the demand for the safe-haven space.
