Gold price forecast

Gold and silver prices simultaneously fell sharply in the first session of the week, as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) raised margin requirements, increasing selling pressure after the market's sharp decline last week.

Previously, in the January 30 session, gold prices evaporated more than 9.8% - the strongest daily decrease since 1983. Compared to the historical peak of 5,594.82 USD/ounce set on January 29, gold prices have now lost about 900 USD, wiping out most of the increase from the beginning of the year to date.

According to CME, the increase in margin ratio for precious metal futures contracts will officially take effect after the market closes Monday. This move makes speculative positions less attractive, especially putting great pressure on individual investors with limited capital.

Mr. Zain Vawda - an analyst at MarketPulse of OANDA - said that higher margin requirements could create a "chain effect" "This creates a negative spiral: the lower the price, the more traders are called to margin, forced to sell, causing prices to continue to plummet deeper" - he said.

Meanwhile, Barclays Bank believes that in the medium and long term, factors such as interest rate cuts, financial easing, quantitative easing, currency devaluation trends and dedollarization can still help maintain investment demand for gold.

In other precious metals, spot silver prices fell 3.4% to 81.65 USD/ounce. Spot platinum prices fell 4.3% to 2,070.64 USD/ounce, after setting a record high of 2,918.80 USD on January 26. Palladium prices also fell 2.1% to 1,662.68 USD/ounce.

Gold price data is compared to the previous day.

The world gold market operates through two main pricing mechanisms. The first is the spot market, where prices are quoted for transactions and immediate delivery.

The second is the futures contract market, where prices are set for futures delivery. Due to year-end closing activities, December gold futures contracts are currently the most actively traded type on the CME.
