XAU / USD trend forecast February 17, 2025, Scalping European session
The US Dollar remains subdued, hovering near its lowest level since December 17, following the release of disappointing US Retail Sales data on Friday. This weakness in the greenback has rekindled investor appetite for gold, supporting its price.
According to the US Census Bureau, Retail Sales in January saw a sharper-than-expected decline of 0.9%, significantly missing market forecasts of a modest 0.1% drop. This marked a stark contrast to the upwardly revised 0.7% increase recorded in December (previously reported as 0.4%).
