Georgette Boele, an analyst at ABN AMRO, said the Bank of the Netherlands strongly believes that the increase in gold prices is due to a weak USD, not due to safe-haven demand for precious metals. ABN AMRO still has a very positive view of the gold price outlook.
"The US dollar is struggling to increase in the current risk environment. The reason is that the financial market is concerned about policy uncertainty accompanied by President Trump's increasingly erratic trade policy.
Therefore, the USD is likely to be damaged as the long-term reputation of the US is weakening. This may not be reflected in the EUR/USD pair, as the euro has its own challenges, but it can be seen when compared to the Japanese yen, the Swiss francs and the gold price."
