Gold rises above $4,060 as oil drops and Fed rate split fuels market

gold price oil price drop Federal Reserve U.S. employment data support resistance

Spot gold prices climbed to around $4,068‑$4,070 per ounce, with the spot price up 0.7% and futures edging higher, after oil prices fell more than 5% following a de‑escalation of Middle‑East tensions. The decline in oil eased inflation concerns and reduced pressure on the U.S. dollar, supporting the gold rally. While the Federal Reserve left its policy rate unchanged, three Fed officials voted for a rate hike, creating uncertainty about future monetary tightening. Traders are watching key technical levels: support near $4,000‑$4,020, a strong resistance band around $4,060, and a broader $4,100 support zone that could dictate the next move. Upcoming U.S. employment data – the ADP employment report and the Non‑Farm Payrolls – are expected to shape the Fed’s policy outlook and could trigger further price action.
