🔹 Market Background

Gold extended its rally, hitting a two-week high near $3,373–$3,378 per ounce. The rally is fueled by increased safe-haven demand after political and monetary policy uncertainty in the US, along with expectations of future rate cuts.

The US dollar index slipped, making gold relatively cheaper for global investors and keeping bullish momentum alive.
