Gold Outlook: Bulls Target $4,400 Again — Jackson Hole Is the Real Test

Gold rose for a second consecutive week, with cooling inflation and central bank buying continuing to provide support — but geopolitical turbulence kept $4,400–$4,450 firmly in play as a key resistance zone.

Alibaba Q1 FY27 Earnings Preview: Wall Street Is Overwhelmingly Bullish — Now AI and Cloud Have to Prove It

The market expects Alibaba's profitability to come under clear pressure this quarter, even as analyst ratings lean almost unanimously bullish.

Gold Outlook: Bulls Break the Stalemate — CPI To Decide Whether the Rally Has Legs

Gold has broken out of a six-week range and cleared $4,300. Easing geopolitical tensions have taken some of the heat out of inflation fears, while a weak jobs report has further dented September rate-hike expectations — leaving gold's bullish momentum noticeably stronger. This week's July CPI will be the key test, and could determine whether the rally has room to run.

USDJPY Slides to 155: FX Intervention Lifts the Yen, but Rate Differentials Remain the Key Headwind

The yen has staged a strong rebound, with USDJPY falling from around 164 to the 155 region as markets reassess the impact of FX intervention.

Gold Outlook: Fed Holds, Hawks Speak Up — All Eyes on Payrolls

The Fed's biggest internal split since 2016 still left the rate path frustratingly unclear. Gold has been grinding between $4,000 and $4,200 for weeks, caught between rate expectations, dollar moves, and geopolitical headlines. This week, U.S.-Iran talks and Friday's nonfarm payrolls report could finally give the market something to trade.

Gold Outlook: Jobs Miss Fuels the Rally — CPI Could Be the Real Turning Point

Gold has snapped a seven-week losing streak, with soft nonfarm payrolls and a subtle shift in the Fed's hawkish tone igniting a recovery against a backdrop of steady central bank buying. Inflation concerns haven't gone away and rate-hike expectations remain on the table. July 14 — when CPI and Warsh's congressional testimony land on the same day — could prove to be the real turning point.
