Gold price struggles to capitalize on intraday gains amid receding Fed rate cut bets
Concerns about Trump’s trade tariff and a modest USD weakness underpin the XAU/USD pair.
Gold price (XAU/USD) builds on the previous day’s bounce from the $2,864 region touched in reaction to hotter US consumer inflation figures and gains some follow-through positive traction for the second straight day on Thursday. A fresh leg down in the US Treasury bond yields exerts downward pressure on the US Dollar (USD), which, in turn, is seen benefiting the USD-denominated commodity. Apart from this, worries about US President Donald Trump’s tariffs and a global trade war underpin the safe-haven bullion.
Meanwhile, the hotter US consumer inflation figures released on Wednesday reaffirmed market expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will stick to its hawkish stance and hold interest rates steady for an extended period. This could act as a tailwind for the US bond yields and the Greenback, which, in turn, acts as a headwind for the non-yielding Gold price amid still-overbought conditions on the daily chart. Traders now look forward to the release of the US Producer Price Index (PPI) for some meaningful impetus.

Pandora’s Canada Move Dodges US Tariffs
Fast Shipping, Rock-Solid Reliability, and Top-Tier Customer Service
Pandora’s betting big on Canada with a shiny new distribution hub in Mississauga, Ontario—designed to slash delivery lags and sidestep those pesky US tariffs. It’s a game-changer for the Canadian ops: lightning-fast shipping, rock-solid reliability, and top-tier customer service.
Pandora, which locates its jewelry manufacturing in Thailand, where it operates two factories, has been affected by the tariff policies imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump in recent months. With the new distribution plant, the company expects to reduce its costs by up to 1.5 percentage points in the current fiscal year.
This powerhouse site cranks out up to 12,500 online orders daily, per Pandora’s announcement. Canada’s a rocket for the Danish jewelry giant: sales rocketed over 50% since 2019, topping DKK 1 billion ($153.9M) last year alone. Pandora’s got 96 stores dotting the Canadian landscape.
Previously, 20%+ of those digital Canadian buys shipped from US centers—hello, tariffs and delays. Now? Processing shifts north, trimming delivery times by 50% and nixing border duties entirely.
