XAUUSD often reacts strongly to releases that shift expectations for US interest rates and the dollar — for example inflation data, the monthly jobs report, and central-bank rate decisions and commentary — because gold pays no yield and competes with interest-bearing assets. Safe-haven flows around geopolitical or financial stress can also move it. These are general tendencies, and reactions vary; news periods can bring wider spreads and sharp moves.
