Today's Gold Outlook

Rally Reinforced by Rate Cut Bets as Fed Meeting Looms

Daily Gold Sentiment Scan for XAUUSD (Tuesday, September 16, 2025)

XAUUSD is trading at $3,648.44.

Future Forecast

Daily Outlook

The daily outlook for gold remains bullish, building on the strong upward momentum from the monthly and weekly outlooks. The price is hovering near its all-time high, supported by expectations of an imminent Fed rate cut and a weakening US dollar. Geopolitical tensions also continue to provide a safe-haven bid for the precious metal.

Changes to Weekly Outlook

The weekly outlook, which was already bullish, has been reinforced by recent market developments. Notably, a series of softer-than-expected US economic data, including weaker jobs data and a decline in producer prices, has solidified market expectations for a rate cut at this week’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. This has caused a further weakening of the US dollar and a drop in Treasury yields, both of which are highly bullish for gold. The previously established bullish trend is not only intact but has gained further conviction.

Immediate

Economic Events

Today’s trading will be influenced by several key US economic releases, including Retail Sales and Industrial Production data. A significantly weaker-than-expected report could strengthen the case for a more aggressive Fed rate cut, potentially propelling gold to new highs.

Price Analysis

Key Technical Levels

Key technical levels for intraday price action are:

Resistance:

$3,685
The market is now in a "price discovery" phase, meaning there are no historical resistance levels. The current all-time high of $3,685.66 will be the immediate point of interest. A break above this could see the price target the next psychological level of $3,700.

Support:

$3,620
The former resistance at $3,673 has now become a critical intraday support level. A pullback to this level would be a key test for the continuation of the rally.
