Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD points south to $1,900 amid ongoing downbeat momentum

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Gold price is heavy so far this Tuesday’s trading, meandering near weekly lows below $1,940 amid a mixed market mood. Focus is on Tuesday’s close as the yellow metal breaches critical daily support levels, eyeing monthly lows near $1,900, FXStreet’s Dhwani Mehta reports.

Ukraine crisis, hawkish Fed expectations to underpin the DXY, down gold price

“The ongoing uptrend in the US Treasury yields keeps the bearish pressures intact on the non-interest-bearing gold. Hawkish Fed’s expectations underpin the global borrowing costs while lending support to the US dollar.”

“The Russia-Ukraine war is likely to come to end by early May, according to the Ukrainian Presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovich. The uncertainty amid prolonged diplomatic talks will leave investors scurrying for safety in the greenback while exerting downward pressure on gold.”

“A daily closing below the $1,955 critical daily trendline support will open doors for a drop towards the March lows of $1,902 should the 21-DMA at $1,934 give way on a sustained basis.”

“Recapturing the trendline support now resistance at $1,955 is critical to initiating a meaningful recovery towards the $2,000 mark. The next relevant stop for bulls is seen at the March 10 highs of $2,009. Further up, a fresh upswing towards the psychological level of $2,050 cannot be ruled out.”

AUD/USD stuck as the RBA talks tough into a slowdown

The Australian Dollar is going nowhere in a hurry, and the contradiction at its core explains why. The Reserve Bank of Australia keeps dangling the prospect of another hike, yet the economy it governs just expanded 0.3% in the first quarter, a clear step down from the prior pace. A central bank threatening to tighten into a visible slowdown is not a recipe for conviction in either direction, and the tape shows it.

USD/JPY: Japanese Yen coiled at the line, leaning on everyone but Japan

The Yen is doing very little, and that stasis is the whole story. USD/JPY sits glued near 160.00 not because Japan has found new strength, but because two outside forces are fighting to a draw over it: a US rate complex that keeps the dollar bid, and a Ministry of Finance that refuses to let the line break.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
