Gold Price Outlook: XAU/USD
The price of gold trades to a fresh record high ($2799) following the limited reaction to the Federal Reserve interest rate decision, with the recent advance in bullish pushing the Relative Strength Index (RSI) back towards overbought territory.
Gold Price Rallies to Fresh Record High amid Limited Response to Fed
The price of gold extends the recent series of higher highs and lows to clear the 2024 high ($2790), and a move above 70 in the RSI is likely to be accompanied by a further rise in bullion like the price action from last year.

In turn, gold may continue to carve a bullish price series even though the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) keeps US interest rates on hold at its first meeting for 2025, and the threat of a policy error by major central banks may keep bullion afloat as it offers as an alternative to fiat currencies.
With that said, the price of gold may trade to fresh record highs over the remainder of the month as it breaks out of the range bound price action from earlier this week, but the RSI may show the bullish momentum abating if it struggles to push into overbought territory.

GBP/USD forecast: US Mid-terms, NFP and BoE put cable in sharp focus
The US dollar has been a standout loser in the FX space today. A Democrat-controlled Congress is widely seen as being at least mildly negative for the dollar, partly because of the potential implications for the AI investment story and partly because of the risk of another prolonged government funding standoff, potentially from next summer. This has allowed the likes of the GBP/USD to rally alongside gold and silver.

Markets had a wild overnight session, with futures initially plunging before staging a sharp reversal and turning decisively higher. Global equity markets also bounced back, alongside gold and silver, while the US dollar has weakened.
