Gold price forecast
Despite continued selling pressure, gold prices are stabilizing around $4,000 an ounce as the market awaits further clear signals about US monetary policy.
Philip Streible - chief strategist at Blue Line Futures commented that gold still has room for increase in the short term, but needs to surpass the threshold of 4,175 USD/ounce to regain a clear uptrend.
Weaker data next week could reflect a weakening labor market, forcing the Fed to continue policy easing despite Powells caution. This could create a driver for gold prices," Streible said.
Meanwhile, Ole Hansen - Director of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank - said that the current selling pressure does not change the long-term outlook for gold. However, he predicted that prices will continue to accumulate sideways.
The previous accumulation period lasted four months, so if prices set a new record before the end of the year, it would be surprising.
Mr. Powell is cautious because the situation is unpredictable, while the US-China trade deal has not actually solved the core problem. Therefore, patience is the right strategy at this time" - he commented.
Aaron Hill - an analyst at FP Markets - believes that the gold market will witness strong fluctuations as investors seek a balance between opposing factors.
Gold prices held around $4,000 an ounce as the Fed hinted that it may not cut interest rates in December, along with a US-China tax deal that reduced safe-haven demand. However, the VIX volatility index is still high above 16, causing the defence cash flow to flow slightly into gold.
I am still optimistic in the long term - buying when prices fall below $3,950/ounce is reasonable" - this expert said.
Lukman Otunuga - senior analyst at FXTM, noted that political instability in the US - when the US government cannot pass the new budget - could continue to support gold prices.
Technically, gold prices have fallen about 8% from historical peaks, but still rose 4% for the month. The resistance level is close to $4,050 and supporting around $4,000/ounce; breaking one of these two milestones will shape the upcoming trend," he said.
If the US government is not reopened next week, it will be the longest closure in history. The situation has lasted for a month and is at risk of affecting economic activity, especially if the budget for the SNAP food subsidy program expires, affecting 1/8 of the US population.
