This stabilisation follows last week&#8217;s record high of $2,790.15, a level that has since seen a steep fall, with gold losing nearly $130.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-19-1024x467.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15697\" style=\"width:1450px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>See: XAUUSD shows a bearish trend, dropping from 2749.97 to 2653.66 with bearish signals from MA and MACD on the <a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\">VT<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\">Markets app<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary driver for this pause in gold\u2019s rally appears to be a strengthened U.S. dollar, which reached a four-month high after Donald Trump\u2019s successful return to the presidency, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris. This dollar boost makes gold more costly for overseas buyers, dampening demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Gold Futures Dip as Dollar Strengthens on Pro-Growth Outlook<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. gold futures also took a slight dip of 0.2% to $2,670.40, indicating mild pressure across gold instruments as the dollar&#8217;s momentum holds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traders quickly shifted into the dollar on the heels of Trump\u2019s victory, likely viewing his win as a harbinger for economic policies focused on growth and inflation containment. With Trump&#8217;s administration set to focus on economic stimulus, traders speculate that the Federal Reserve may moderate its rate-cut trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Fed Rate Cut Eyed; Dollar Gains, Pressuring Gold<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The anticipated 25-basis-point cut, expected at the end of the Fed\u2019s two-day meeting, has taken centre stage. This cut could potentially be one of the last in the near term, depending on how quickly Trump&#8217;s policies start affecting economic growth and inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThis Fed meeting on Thursday \u2026 looks very engrained as a 25 basis point ease,\u201d Easterly EAB Risk Solutions strategist Arnim Holzer says. \u201cIt would be very difficult not to do 25 basis points here.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eIE530VdsM\">pic.twitter.com\/eIE530VdsM<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Yahoo Finance (@YahooFinance) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/YahooFinance\/status\/1853463465492406431?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 4, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Additionally, traders will closely monitor Fed Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s remarks, as any hint towards a slower rate-cut path could further fuel dollar strength, adding downward pressure on gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Gold\u2019s Outlook Uncertain as Rate-Cut Speculation Looms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a traditional safe-haven asset, gold thrives in low-interest-rate conditions, which decrease the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding metals. The uncertainty around future rate cuts, however, presents a mixed outlook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Powell signals a conservative stance on future cuts, the dollar could gain further traction, with potentially bearish implications for gold in the short term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Metals across the board experienced variable impacts. Spot silver saw a modest increase of 0.2% to $31.21 per ounce, while platinum gained 0.13% to $987.90. Palladium, however, declined by 0.2% to $1,032.93, as the markets await further policy clarity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, other commodities such as oil and gas have begun recouping losses, suggesting that Trump&#8217;s pro-energy policies could reinforce demand in these sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/analysis\/usdx-hits-four-year-high-as-trump-re-elected\/\">USDX Hits Four-Year High as Trump Re-Elected<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With market participants awaiting more direction, today&#8217;s Fed decision will be a critical indicator.
