Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold price continues to draw support from a combination of factors

• The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it is carrying out "extensive strikes" in the Gaza Strip and targeting what it called "terror targets" belonging to Hamas. This comes after talks to extend the Gaza ceasefire failed to reach an agreement at meetings in Qatar, raising the risk of further escalation of geopolitical tensions in the region. 

• Concerns about the economic slowdown resurfaced after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday there were no guarantees that the U.S. economy will avoid recession this year. This further underpins demand for traditional safe-haven assets and lifts the Gold price to a fresh all-time peak during the Asian session on Tuesday. 

• On the economic data front, the US Census Bureau reported on Monday that US Retail Sales rose by 0.2% in February vs the downwardly revised decline of 1.2% the prior month. The reading fell short of expectations for a 0.7% growth, signaling consumer caution and lifting bets that the Federal Reserve will resume its rate-cutting cycle.

• The Fed funds futures suggest that the US central bank could lower borrowing costs by 25 basis points each at the June, July, and October monetary policy meetings. This might cap the attempted US Dollar recovery from its lowest level since October 2024 touched on Monday and is further seen acting as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal. 

• Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump expressed optimism that Russia and Ukraine will be able to come to a ceasefire and ultimately a peace deal. This comes ahead of the Trump-Putin peace talks on Tuesday, which, along with the optimism led by China's stimulus measures announced over the weekend, remains supportive of the upbeat market mood.

• Traders now look to Tuesday's US economic docket - featuring the release of Building Permits, Housing Starts, and Industrial Production data. The focus, however, will remain glued to the outcome of a two-day FOMC meeting on Wednesday, which will drive the USD demand in the near term and provide a fresh directional impetus to the XAU/USD pair.
