Gold: On July 27, the US-Iran military confrontation suddenly hit pause, causing ripples across global markets. International oil prices opened sharply lower on Monday (July 27), with WTI crude plunging over 6% to $83.10 per barrel at one point, cooling inflation concerns. Spot gold opened more than $40 higher, initially rising 1% to touch $4,096.63 per ounce, and is currently trading around $4,085 per ounce, up about 0.8%. Meanwhile, US stock index futures rallied across the board, with S&P 500 futures up 0.65% and Nasdaq futures up 1.2%. This chain reaction stems from the Trump administration's decision to "leave room for maneuver" in diplomatic negotiations and Iran's simultaneous suspension of retaliation. However, whether gold's brief rebound can be sustained depends on a genuine de-escalation in the Middle East, clarity on the Federal Reserve's policy path, and the market's repricing of inflation and interest rates.
From the current chart perspective, gold has shown a pattern of stabilizing at lows and oscillating stronger during the day, completing a dip-and-recovery move, with short-term bullish momentum gradually recovering. After a deep correction, the price found strong support at the $4,000 psychological level, exhausting bearish momentum, and continued buying at the bottom pushed the price to steadily reclaim the key $4,100 level. Technically, the long lower shadow candle signals a shift in momentum, with the center of gravity moving higher and a bullish bias. Key intraday support lies in the $4,070-$4,030 zone, with a solid bull defense line; short-term resistance is at $4,120-$4,180, and a break above this range is needed to open further upside room. In summary, today's strategy suggests buying on dips near $4,070, with a stop loss at $4,050, targeting $4,020, and if a breakout occurs, holding partially for a further target of $4,150.
