As of writing, XAU/USD has cleared the $2,960 level, signaling strong bullish momentum in the precious metals market.
The rally comes in the wake of fresh economic data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which indicated that producer prices remained relatively stable. The Producer Price Index (PPI) for February rose 3.2% year-over-year (YoY), slightly below expectations of 3.3% and down from January’s 3.7%. Meanwhile, Core PPI—which excludes food and energy—came in at 3.4% YoY, also below forecasts of 3.5%. Additionally, Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending March 8 dropped slightly to 220K from 222K, coming in lower than the projected 225K.
While gold’s latest surge lacked a clear, immediate catalyst, geopolitical tensions remain a key driver of safe-haven demand. Reports from Russia suggest that a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine remains elusive, with Moscow’s top aide dismissing a US-proposed deal as offering "nothing" to Russia. This ongoing uncertainty continues to underpin gold’s appeal as a hedge against global instability.
With prices now well above the previous high of $2,954, the momentum in XAU/USD suggests a potential test of the $3,000 psychological level in the near future. Technical indicators remain supportive of further upside, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) still in bullish territory, showing room to extend gains before reaching overbought conditions.
Gold’s impressive breakout signals that investors are increasingly seeking safety in precious metals, and with ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical risks, further upside cannot be ruled out.
