Gold (XAU/USD) is one of the most popular instruments for risk-hedging and inflation protection. It moves inversely to the US Dollar and real interest rates. Gold is highly sensitive to geopolitical events, Fed policy expectations, and USD strength. On a standard lot (100 oz), each $1 move = $100 P&L.
