Despite this, global trade remains resilient, expanding by $500 billion in the first half of 2025, led by manufacturing and electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, upcoming key events include the U.S. Core PCE inflation report, the Fourth Plenum of China to finalise its five-year economic plan, and high-level U.S.\u2013Russia talks on Ukraine. These developments could significantly influence risk sentiment and central bank positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical analysis: Gold holds strong at support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/10\/gold-3-1024x664.jpg\" alt=\"xauusd\" class=\"wp-image-29573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/10\/gold-3-1024x664.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/10\/gold-3-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/10\/gold-3-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/10\/gold-3-463x300.jpg 463w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/10\/gold-3-400x259.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/10\/gold-3-350x227.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/10\/gold-3-200x130.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/10\/gold-3.jpg 1401w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gold is currently consolidating after a pullback from $4,379, with support holding near $4,045. Momentum remains constructive, and a move above $4,112 could reignite bullish momentum toward $4,279 and $4,333. A close above $4,333 would confirm a bullish extension. On the downside, a break below $4,045 opens risk toward $4,000, with deeper weakness below $4,025 undermining the bullish setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Support<\/strong>: $4,045 \u2192 $4,000 \u2192 $4,025<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Resistance<\/strong>: $4,112 \u2192 $4,279 \u2192 $4,333<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bullish setup<\/strong>: Buy dips toward $4,045 with stops below $4,025.
