Gold (XAU\/USD) enters the week with bullish momentum after confirming a breakout above the $3,750 to $3,760 consolidation zone. The move comes on the heels of macroeconomic surprises last week, including a sharp drop in U.S. jobless claims and an upward revision to Q2 GDP growth, which is now at 3.8%, the highest in two years. While these figures suggest economic resilience, the rate path of the Federal Reserve is further complicated with officials offering mixed signals on future policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strength of the labor market and GDP revision have cooled immediate rate cut expectations, but Fed officials remain divided. Some emphasise caution, while others shift focus toward employment and liquidity reform, highlighting the TGCR as a potential benchmark alternative. This uncertainty has kept yields volatile and the dollar reactive, creating a supportive backdrop for gold as investors seek clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold has broken above the $3,750 to $3,760 range, turning former resistance into support. A sustained daily close above $3,820 would further validate the breakout and likely attract momentum buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
