Gold price forecast

Although gold prices are falling, many experts say that the fundamental factors are still intact. Central banks around the world continue to accumulate gold strongly; tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East play a key role, strengthening gold's position as a hedge against instability.

In addition, expectations of falling interest rates in the future are also beneficial for gold as they reduce opportunity costs compared to other profitable assets.

The latest policy announcement from the US Federal Reserve (FED) further complicates the story of gold. The Fed kept the reference interest rate unchanged at around 4.25% - 4.50%, maintaining a cautious data-based approach, while continuing to monitor the impact of President Donald Trump's trade policies, especially tariffs.

The Fed forecasts inflationary pressures to increase in the next few months, but still maintains plans to cut rates by two more rates before the end of the year, as oriented in March.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell stressed caution, saying policymakers are in a good position to wait for more information on the economic outlook before adjusting policy.

The Fed's statement also admitted that "the level of uncertainty about economic prospects has decreased", but is still "high", reflecting many intertwined factors that the Fed is facing.

According to Soni Kumari - commodity strategy expert at ANZ, the FED's clear cautious stance on inflation has reduced expectations of interest rate cuts, thereby putting pressure on gold prices.

"Inflation risks remain. When the Fed is not in a hurry to ease monetary policy, gold will have a hard time getting strong," she said.
