Probability

40%

Gold trades at $4,028 on July 24 — just $28 above the psychologically critical $4,000 level that FX Leaders explicitly flagged as 'key support.' ECB September rate-hike odds have simultaneously surged to 93% (USD-bullish, gold-bearish), and new US Section 301 tariffs (12.5% on China and 60 other economies, effective July 24) add short-term risk-off pressure. Counter-argument: tariff-driven inflation expectations could support gold. Net probability of breaching $4,000: 40%.
