US President Donald Trump met with Japan's new Prime Minister Sanae Takachi early Tuesday and signed a framework deal for securing the supply of critical minerals and rare earths. Trump also signed separate deals with Malaysia and Camdonia, in addition to frameworks for trade pacts with Thailand and Vietnam. Wall Street's main indexes registered strong gains on Monday, with the S&P 500, the Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Average all closing at new record-highs. Early Tuesday, US stock index futures trade mixed. In the meantime, the US Dollar (USD) Index stays under modest bearish pressure below 99.00 after closing modestly lower on Monday.

EUR/USD holds its ground after posting small gains on Monday and trades at around 1.1650 in the European session on Tuesday. The data from Germany showed earlier in the day that the GfK Consumer Confidence Index declined to -24.1 for November from -22.5 in October.

Japan's Economics Minister Minoru Kiuchi reiterated on Tuesday that it's important for foreign exchange (FX) moves to reflect fundamentals and be stable.
Gold FAQs
Gold has played a key role in human's history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn't rely on any specific issuer or government.
Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country's solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.
The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.
