From Investing.com: 2025-05-28 03:24:00
Gold prices dropped by 1.24% following positive U.S. consumer confidence data, indicating renewed optimism in the economy. President Trump’s decision to delay tariffs on EU imports also boosted market sentiment. Analysts predict a range-bound movement for XAU/USD, with key levels at $3,285 support and $3,320 resistance.
The euro lost 0.52% as U.S. consumer confidence data exceeded expectations, strengthening investor appetite for dollar-denominated assets. Trump’s tariff delay on EU imports eased trade concerns, impacting the euro’s value. EUR/USD remained steady ahead of the U.S. FOMC Meeting Minutes release.
The Australian dollar fell to around 0.64300 despite CPI data slightly beating expectations.
