KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 5 June 2025 - May proved to be a rather challenging month for gold traders. XAUUSD, the primary financial instrument for trading gold, fluctuated in a relatively broad range between $3,120 and $3,435 per ounce (oz), but finished the month virtually unchanged, narrowly recording a fifth consecutive monthly gain. Although trading started on a bearish note, XAUUSD found support in the $3,200 area and even rebounded slightly. However, the failure to confidently break above the critical $3,430 mark led to a short-term bearish trend, with prices falling by nearly 9% by mid-May. Subsequently, technical dip-buying and robust safe-haven demand spurred a recovery in XAUUSD, which remained comfortably above its 50-, 100-, and 200-day moving averages (MAs). Nevertheless, May marked the first month since November 2024 when gold did not reach a new all-time high. Notably, the monthly chart for May has formed a strong doji candlestick, potentially s ...read more
