Gold price prediction turns cautious as Fed stays on hold, dollar firms, and oil drops, reducing inflation pressure and limiting gold rally potential.
Gold (XAU/USD) has held steady on Friday, 17 April 2026, during the Asian session with a minuscule intraday gain of 0.2% to trade at $4,800 at this time of writing.
Gold (XAU/USD) is poised for a potential breakout above $4,900 as improving macro conditions support bullish momentum. A softer US dollar, rising Fed rate cut expectations, and falling real yields are creating a favourable backdrop.
