Technical Analysis of Gold Price (XAU/USD) Today:

The gold price index has reached an all-time high, with gains to the $3540 per ounce resistance level before settling around $3532 per ounce at the start of trading on Wednesday, September 3, 2025. According to gold trading platforms, spot gold prices have surged to new historical records, supported by growing expectations of a Fed rate cut this month and a weaker US dollar.

According to the latest influential events, last week's US inflation report boosted hopes for an easing of US monetary policy, with financial markets now pricing in a nearly 90% probability of a 25-basis point rate cut at the next Federal Reserve meeting. Attention now turns to this week's US nonfarm payrolls report, which could influence the size of the expected interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

Demand for gold as a safe-haven asset has also been fueled by ongoing concerns over the US central bank's independence and uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump's tariffs. The legality of Trump's firing of Fed Governor Lisa Cook remains in dispute after a hearing on Friday concluded without a ruling on whether to temporarily block the dismissal. At the same time, a US appeals court ruled that most of Trump's tariffs are illegal, though it allowed them to remain in effect until October 14 to permit further appeals.
 

US 10-Year Treasury Yields Rise

A factor influencing the gold market is the rise in the 10-year US Treasury yield to over 4.27% on Tuesday, climbing about 10 basis points in the last three sessions. This rise is occurring despite increasing expectations of a Fed rate cut this month, as financial concerns and the risk of persistent inflation have weighed on long-term bonds. A new surge in corporate bond issuance has flooded the fixed-income market with new securities, renewing concerns about the unsustainable increase in US debt following Washington's expansionary fiscal policy.

As a result, the yield curve has flattened sharply, as rate cut expectations supported short-term bonds while long-term bonds faced a sell-off. Similar developments have been observed in Europe, where financial concerns in the UK have pressured British government bonds, while tensions arose from Dutch pension funds selling long-term bonds, and Europe saw a record amount of bond issuance.

On the economic data front, the prices paid index in the ISM Manufacturing PMI held above the 60 thresholds, indicating sharp inflationary pressures.
 

The US Dollar Is Rising Despite Growing Tariff Concerns

According to forex market trading, the US dollar rose at the start of trading in September, while financial markets generally declined due to concerns related to tariffs. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the dollar's strength against a weighted basket of major currencies like the Japanese yen and British pound, rose to 98.28 from its opening level of 97.77. The index had fallen by 0.51% last month and is down 9.41% year-to-date.
 

Technical Forecast for Gold/USD:

The general trend for gold prices remains strongly bullish, and a break above the historical psychological resistance of $3,500 per ounce is likely, as long as the gold market's strength factors remain. Based on the performance on the daily chart of the gold index, technical indicators have moved towards strong overbought levels, as observed in the 14-day RSI reading and the MACD line. Therefore, dear trader, be cautious about buying from record highs despite the continued strength of the market.
 

Trading Tips:

Traders advise holding off on gold trading for now, pending a reaction to the US jobs numbers released at the end of the week. Ultimately, selling from record highs in anticipation of profit-taking may be the best option for trading now.
