How come $ strengthened with high CPI and uncertainty regarding war regarding which the general impression is that USA has not been able to achieve their goals

Morgan Stanley reaffirmed its Buy rating on Tesla (TSLA) with a $460 price target, maintaining a positive outlook driven by strong expectations for future growth. The firm highlighted Tesla’s progress in autonomous driving and Robotaxi development as key long-term catalysts for the stock.

Tesla is already operating Robotaxi services in cities like Austin and Dallas, and analysts suggest potential buying opportunities around the $377 level, reflecting confidence in the company’s role in the future of mobility.

A 4% increase has strengthened expectations that interest rates will remain at elevated levels for longer, and at the same time, a stronger US dollar has made gold—priced in USD—more expensive for investors holding other currencies. TD Securities says recent news has once again increased inflation concerns and reinforced hawkish signals regarding interest rate policy. From a technical perspective, gold on the H4 timeframe has shown a corrective rebound after a decline but is still trading below the 48-period main trend. The MACD is near the zero line and converging, suggesting the market is currently indecisive. This week, key US data such as JOLTS job openings, ADP employment figures, and the April NFP report will determine the next direction for gold. Key levels: Resistance 4557 and 4575, Support 4522 and 4500.

Gold stuck in range amid mixed macro forces.
As long as tensions in the Strait of Hormuz remain unresolved, energy prices will stay high and keep inflation elevated.
Higher inflation supports gold, but strong interest rates and a strong dollar limit its upside.
Central bank gold buying remains a key structural support for the market.
On the H4 timeframe, gold is moving in a sideways, volatile range.
MACD shows weakening momentum and a possible consolidation phase.
Overall, gold is stuck between bullish and bearish forces with no clear trend yet.

Gold Market Overview: Sideways with Mild Weakness Amid Policy Uncertainty
Gold is currently moving in a sideways and slightly weak trend. Easing tensions between the U.S. and Iran have reduced safe-haven demand, while high U.S. interest rates continue to weigh on prices. Rising energy costs have also pushed inflation higher, supporting expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep rates elevated for longer.
Conclusion: Gold is in a consolidation phase, with its next direction likely driven by interest rate expectations and geopolitical developments.
