Technical analysis by Edward_TradingFX about Symbol PAXG: Buy recommendation (13 hour ago)

Gold has returned to a weaker stance, trading around $3,309 during the U.S. session. The U.S. dollar gained some positive momentum as markets leaned toward the possibility that the Federal Reserve will keep its policy unchanged in July following the May report, causing XAU/USD to drop lower into the weekend.Additionally, U.S. economic data released on the same day continued to show signs of cooling. Specifically, weekly jobless claims came in higher than both the forecast and the previous week's figures, while the U.S. trade deficit narrowed significantly in May.The index measuring the dollar's strength against a basket of six major currencies remained nearly unchanged. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds rose, and real yields climbed by 2 basis points, putting downward pressure on gold prices.Nevertheless, gold still maintains its long-term uptrend. This correction is seen as a better buying opportunity.
