Gold (XAU) price remains supported as the Middle East tensions keep the safe haven demand alive despite the recent correction to long term support zones. The fragile ceasefire around the Strait of Hormuz has not removed the risk premium and sticky PCE inflation keeps the Fed outlook uncertain. In my view, gold remains bullish above $3,950, but the price must break above $4,350 to confirm a stronger rebound towards $5,000 and higher levels.
