Gold continues to shine as it shows the latest rebound. XAUUSD printed a fresh daily low during the American session at $1751, but only to rebound more than $10 in a few minutes, rising back above $1760. The outlook remains positive for the metal that is trading near the $1770 resistance area.

Technicals and yields

Gold is about to post the second weekly gain in a row, with the best performance in months. What it started as a correction, after falling to test the critical support around $1675, it has become a strong rally that could add to gains if the price holds above $1750.

The decline in US yields after the FOMC meeting triggered more gains in XAUUSD. Even after US economic data released on Friday showed a still strong consumer and high inflation, the demand for Treasuries held firm. The US 10-year yield stands at 2.65%, and the 30-year rate is back under 3.00%.

The greenback is still on positive ground on Friday but off highs and about to end the week on a weak note. The DXY is flat for the day, around 106.10, consolidating weekly losses. The long-term perspective is still bullish for DXY, but the momentum in the short-term has faded.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.

Gold remains on the back foot below $3,900
