[XAU/USD] Retaliatory Tariffs and Hopes for Ukraine Ceasefire

President Trump announced an increase in tariffs on Canada from 25% to 50%. In response, Canada raised export electricity prices to the U.S. by 25%. This trade conflict raised concerns about a global economic slowdown, causing stock prices to fall. As a result, the U.S. dollar weakened, and gold prices rebounded for the first time in three days.

However, Ukraine expressed willingness to agree to a ceasefire. This reduced geopolitical risks, which limited gold’s price increase.

As President Trump’s statements keep changing, the market remains unstable. Despite this, gold continues to show strong support.
