{quote} Not to argue politics but trump did a complete 180 on his immigration policy, firstly by letting the wealthy buy citizen status in the country then more recently by pulling ICE out of areas where illegal immigration was running rampant. He has done a massive disservice to his voters by both doing this and entering the war with Iran which he promised not to do. I'd get your facts right before insinuating other regions are "weak" and "politically stupid"
The Trump clean up in the US is not over by a long shot.
His administration has intel on Iran trying to Assassinate him long before he attacked them. Not a secret. It is general knowledge. His voters are perfectly ok with him.
Only a leader with a backbone will address the "death to America" slogans. They have learned the hard way.
Iran will be liberated and the Persian people will determine their own destiny.
Let us stick to trading and keep politics aside. This is a trading forum with clear rules.

Inflation is still sticky → Bullish for Gold
The report shows inflation is not falling much:

  1. Headline CPI: 0.3% MoM
  2. Core CPI: 0.2% MoM
  3. YoY inflation: ~2.4–2.5%

But the details matter more:
Strong price increases in:

  1. Gasoline
  2. Airfares
  3. Housing
  4. Medical care
  5. Food & beverages
  6. Apparel

This tells traders inflation pressure is still embedded in services.
Market interpretation:

  1. Inflation not fully under control
  2. Real purchasing power risk remains

Historically that supports gold demand as an inflation hedge.
2. War risk + energy spike → Very bullish for gold
Your note about Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz disruption is critical.
If the Strait of Hormuz is restricted:

  1. ~20% of global oil supply is affected
  2. Energy prices spike
  3. Inflation rises again

Higher energy → higher inflation → investors hedge with gold.
Geopolitical crises usually cause safe-haven flows into gold.
3. The Fed may pause rate cuts → Mixed impact
The report suggests Federal Reserve will likely:

  1. Wait and see
  2. Avoid cutting rates quickly

Higher rates normally hurt gold because gold has no yield.
But if inflation rises while growth slows, the Fed gets trapped.
That scenario is called stagflation, which historically is very bullish for gold.
4. Market psychology matters more than CPI headline
Even though CPI was “in-line”, markets care about future inflation, not past data.
Your text basically says:
February might be the lowest inflation reading for a while.
If traders believe inflation will rise again:

  1. bond yields may rise
  2. but gold still attracts safe-haven flows

5. Short-term vs medium-term impact on gold
Short term (days)
Gold can be volatile because:

  1. CPI not worse than expected
  2. Fed may stay cautious

So price may range or pull back slightly.
Medium term (weeks/months)
Bullish drivers are building:

  1. Iran conflict risk
  2. Oil inflation shock
  3. Sticky services inflation
  4. Slowing job growth

That combination historically pushes gold higher.
Simple trader interpretation
If you trade gold (like XAUUSD):
Bullish factors

  1. War risk
  2. Energy inflation
  3. Sticky services inflation

Bearish factors

  1. Fed delaying rate cuts
  2. Strong USD

Right now geopolitics > CPI headline.
Conclusion:
This CPI report is mildly bullish for gold, and if oil spikes because of the Iran situation, gold likely trends higher again after pullbacks.

{quote} So far gold has not reacted quite as many hoped with the war and oil supply. Plus I would say that has a more immediate direct impact on oil and thats where the money most likely would be first
I'm pretty sure it has to go down with all news considered... Asia will probably touch 5123 at least and I think we'll get some new range a bit lower than where we are.

That's the similar feeling I was getting. I am looking lower for potential buys but will trade what gets presented. Today just looks like hot garbage for now. Some scalps to steal here and there but no clear direction yet

Serious, there are no defined bias. If you guys use volatility with volume ( not forget yesterday ) what seems so bearish is not so straigth, price always fluctuates, if no certain of a bias, take advantage of those price zones, is where they average, is not any zone... They are correlated, volume and volatility... We never close below 5158 like i mention early, all was aligned... And we can also averaging 4h, but no time to check it. Only had this 15m so, i am leaving, safe trades. EDIT: A tip, a break of 5197.175 in 15m price will tap here again.......
5 hours ago and didn't happen a fully break of this 15m range lol
Was waiting for me...

What I said was my point of view; whether you liked it or not is irrelevant. You're the one who brought politics into it. It seems I touched a nerve by calling The idol you worship clown.

Still time, Asia is not in full swing yet. That was a good looking drop. I am not too worried about catching the bottom and I doubt I can stay awake much longer .

Will see where things are in a couple hours

Yeah it's a real shame it plays out like this... I exited my short I'd been holding all day too early, entered another one and we have another stall. You're right, I can see Asia breaching through 5123 easy from here and if / when the do, they'll set a new range somewhere lower. Though I need my sleep also, I'm starting to look like I belong in the Tokyo session
