Global coffee prices are experiencing a significant upswing, driven primarily by severe supply constraints in the world's major coffee-producing regions. Adverse weather conditions, notably drought and inconsistent rainfall linked to climate change, have crippled production capacity in Brazil (the largest arabica producer) and Vietnam (the largest robusta producer). Consequently, crop yield forecasts are being revised downwards, export volumes are shrinking, and concerns over future harvests are mounting, putting direct upward pressure on both arabica and robusta bean prices worldwide. Adding complexity to the situation are fluctuating market dynamics and conflicting future outlooks. While recent robusta inventories have tightened, arabica stocks saw a temporary rise, sending mixed signals. Export data is similarly inconsistent, and market forecasts diverge significantly – some analysts predict deepening deficits and historically low stocks, particularly for Arabica, while others project widening surpluses. Geopolitical factors, including trade tensions and tariffs, further cloud the picture, impacting costs and potentially dampening consumer demand. These converging pressures translate directly into higher operational expenses for businesses across the coffee value chain. Roasters face doubled green bean costs, forcing cafes to increase consumer prices for beverages to maintain viability amidst already thin margins. This sustained cost increase is impacting consumer behaviour, potentially shifting preferences towards lower-quality coffee, and diminishing the price premiums previously enjoyed by specialty coffee growers. The industry faces significant uncertainty, grappling with the possibility that these elevated price levels may represent a new, challenging norm rather than a temporary spike.
The Japanese yen (JPY) is declining during the Asian session on Tuesday, which, along with a modest rise in the US dollar (USD), is lifting the USD/JPY pair closer to the mid-143.00s. US President Donald Trump's cancellation of tariffs on major consumer electronics and the signal that he may temporarily exempt the auto industry from the 25 per cent duties continue to support market optimism. This in turn undermines demand for traditional safe-haven assets, including the yen. However, the rapidly escalating trade war between the US and China and lingering concerns over the potential economic impact of Trump's crippling tariffs should temper market optimism. Meanwhile, expectations that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will continue to raise interest rates are strongly at odds with bets on more aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This, along with hopes of a trade deal between the US and Japan, should limit losses for the low-yielding Yen. Trade recommendation: SELL 142.80, SL 144.50, TP 140.50
? Driving events At the critical moment of the tariff war, there were signs of easing, but the market did not buy it when it came to the gold market. The US policy changed faster than turning a book, which made the market overwhelmed. Therefore, even if the latest US statement was somewhat easing, gold did not fall as a result. The current market is an extreme casino, which depends entirely on whether the correct trading signals and entry timing are grasped in time. After the tariff war, major investment banks have recently raised their expectations for gold prices this year. Goldman Sachs' latest forecast is that the gold price may rise to $3,700 this year. In extreme cases, the gold price may hit $4,200. This forecast seems unreliable, but it is actually very mysterious. Goldman Sachs' forecasts cannot be all accurate, nor can they be all inaccurate. What does this extreme situation refer to? Obviously, there are only two points, the first is the economy, and the second is the war. Apart from these two points, there is no more significant news that can push the gold price to $4,200. So, is it possible for the current fundamentals to have the situation predicted by Goldman Sachs? Obviously, there is. The global trade war initiated by Trump will cause all economic turmoil, and the economy will enter an accelerated recession. In addition, the United States attempts to take down Iran in order to control the Middle East and raise oil prices. If a war breaks out in Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, the lifeline of oil in the entire Middle East, will be blocked, and oil may rise to a rare height. This is the purpose of the United States. Once the above two situations occur at the same time, it is not surprising that the price of gold rises to $4,200. Therefore, instead of predicting how much the price of gold will rise, it is better to pay attention to the real-time dynamics of the United States' tariff war and layout in the Middle East. With 36 trillion U.S. debts hanging over his head, Trump is like a child who is desperate to lose, betting on the credit of the United States. Of course, the United States has the possibility of winning the bet. The tariff war is naturally impossible for the United States to win, but the United States will not lose. In the layout of the Middle East, the United States still has the probability of winning. Although Iran is the strongest combat force in the Middle East, the United States has been deeply involved in the Middle East for many years and has also won almost all the expected goals, and is experienced. The world is calling Trump a madman, a psychopath, and a fool. In my opinion, Trump is not crazy, but may be a king. ?Commentary Analysis and ?Strategy I have said that any pullback in gold is an opportunity to get on board. Buy more when the pullback is big and buy less when the pullback is small. Although it is at a high level and the risk is extremely high, it is all assumptions. The fact is that gold has always been strong. The only thing to remember is that once you are afraid of heights, don't go short. You can be timid and watch the war, but you can't go against the trend. After the tariff war eased, gold did not fall. After a slight adjustment yesterday, it did not continue the decline. It is now strong again and stands above 3230. It rose sharply due to the tariff war, but it did not fall sharply due to the easing of tariffs. There must be a reason. In terms of technical trends, gold 3190 area forms a new support platform, and the 4-hour level forms a high-level shock pattern. This high-level shock pattern is still bullish. Once it breaks through, it will start a new wave of upward trend. At present, the trend is good and the bullish trend remains unchanged. The market fluctuates rapidly. We have already entered long orders near 3210 in the morning. Any intraday retracement support level is a long opportunity. We should grasp it flexibly. ⭐️ Note: Labaron hopes that traders can properly manage their funds - Choose the number of lots that matches your funds - Profit is 4-7% of the fund account - Stop loss is 1-3% of the fund account

⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: The US Dollar (USD) continues to face headwinds, failing to mount a meaningful rebound from its lowest level since April 2022, hit last Friday. Lingering concerns over the economic consequences of sweeping tariffs have fueled recession fears, while growing expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will soon restart its rate-cutting cycle keep USD bulls on the back foot. This environment continues to favor the non-yielding Gold, offering support to XAU/USD. However, a temporary tariff reprieve announced by President Trump has helped lift overall market sentiment, potentially limiting further gains in bullion. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: No news at the beginning of the week, gold price is sideways waiting for price increase and continue to create new ATH ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: ?SELL GOLD zone : 3271- 3273 SL 3277 TP1: $3260 TP2: $3250 TP3: $3240 ?SELL GOLD zone : 3244- 3246 SL 3250 scalping TP1: $3240 TP2: $3230 TP3: $3220 ?BUY GOLD zone: $3189 - $3187 SL $3182 TP1: $3195 TP2: $3210 TP3: $3225 ⭐️Technical analysis: Based on technical indicators EMA 34, EMA89 and support resistance areas to set up a reasonable BUY order. ⭐️NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account
The tail end of a strong market is often hard to predict. Gains could be parabolic. So buckle up and protect yourself. No amount of analysis might match Trump waking up and posting a tweet.
As per my support and resistance analysis if this is working than we have a weaker support now if this breaks than there can be a change of 9% at least if it move upward we can see a change in +12-15% in price changes according to 4housr candle

This chart outlines a Gold (XAU/USD) sell trade setup, based on a bearish double top pattern. Here’s a breakdown of the idea: Double Top Pattern: The chart highlights "TOP 1" and "TOP 2" at the same resistance level, indicating potential price exhaustion. This is a classic reversal pattern, often leading to bearish momentum after the second top fails to break higher. Entry Zone 3230 The trade is triggered at the resistance level after the second top, shown with a red arrow. The price is currently approaching or at this level, suggesting the trader is anticipating a rejection and a move down. Stop Loss (Red Zone):3247 Placed above the resistance line and recent highs, protecting the trade in case price breaks out upward instead of reversing. Take Profits: TP1 (Take Profit 1): 2:1 Reward-to-Risk Ratio — a safer exit, targeting a moderate price decline. TP2 (Take Profit 2): 3:1 Reward-to-Risk Ratio — targeting a deeper move, likely to a previous support level marked by a blue horizontal line. Trade Logic: Price action bias: Repeated failure to break resistance = bearish bias. Structure: Lower highs and signs of weakening bullish momentum. Risk management: Well-defined stop loss and clear reward targets, with a risk-to-reward ratio that favors the trade.
