Analyst: US-Iran Talks Optimism to Support Gold, But Fed's Neutral Stance to Limit Upside Potential

1 hours ago

April 17 – InvestingLive analyst Giuseppe Dellamotta noted that gold’s recent upside momentum has faded despite bullish drivers: falling real yields, easing financial conditions, a weaker U.S. dollar, and others. Since its sharp late-January drop, gold has traded lacklusterly, with the key shift being the Fed’s move from dovish to neutral. However, optimistic expectations for a U.S.-Iran deal should still support gold, limiting downside—**everything hinges on the U.S.-Iran negotiations**. - If talks collapse again, gold may see a deeper pullback; but as long as the ceasefire holds, declines should be contained. - Conversely, a peace deal could give gold a fresh boost, extending its rally to new highs. - For a larger gold move, the Fed would need to revert to a dovish stance.
