Gold spot price (XAU/USD) at the time of writing was noted down at the price of US$1411.35 on July 15, 2019. It has breached an important resistance level on a weekly timeframe chart at US$1,396.85, which indicates a higher probability for a fresh new upside rally. The main reason for this rise can be attributed to uncertainty arising due to geo-political tensions and prompting a shift of the global investment towards safe asset class such as gold. As per the media reports, the US-Iran tensions are rising in the Gulf reason. Iran recently broke 300 Kg cap on enriched Uranium stockpile along with shooting down the US drone, leading to a war like situation. The present circumstance is expected to affect global oil supplies, leading to a decrease in the global growth rate forecast. Moreover, market sentiments also turned positive towards gold investments when US Fed Chairman, Jay Powell said that they will act appropriately to deal with the current situation, which gave a hint for a rate cut to boost slowing business investments.
