Gold Market Analysis and Trading Strategy

I. Current International Gold (XAUUSD)
The core of current global turmoil is the full escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, combined with shifting expectations over Fed policy. This has created a triple pricing logic: geopolitical safe-haven demand + inflation + USD / U.S. Treasury yields, which directly drives sharp short-term volatility in gold.
Conflicts in the Middle East (core trigger):
Coalition airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, Iranian retaliation, and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz (through which roughly 38% of global seaborne crude oil passes). The conflict has spread to Lebanon, Yemen, and other regions, sharply raising risks of energy supply chain disruptions.
Macroeconomic Policy:
The surge in oil prices has boosted inflation expectations, leading markets to downgrade expectations for Fed rate cuts (with only a 2.5% probability of a rate cut in March). The U.S. dollar index has rebounded, and U.S. Treasury yields have risen.
