What is the XAUUSD pip value?+
In XAUUSD, a pip is typically $0.01 (1 cent). However, gold is measured per ounce, so a $1 move in gold = $100 per standard lot (100 oz). A $30 daily move with 1 lot = $3,000 potential profit.

Fed rate hikes historically pressure gold lower (higher rates increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold). However, if hikes signal economic slowdown or recession risk, gold can rally despite rate increases.
