Gold price forecast
The latest weekly gold survey by an international financial information platform shows that the majority of Wall Street analysts are shifting to a pessimistic or neutral view, while retail investors are still slightly optimistic about gold.
This week, there are 17 experts participating in the survey. Less than a fifth of experts see gold prices rising. Only 3 people (18%) see gold prices rising next week, while 6 (35%) see prices falling. The remaining eight experts, or 47%, predict gold prices will move sideways.
Meanwhile, 274 participants participated in the online survey for small investors. The group's optimistic sentiment has weakened after last week's sell-off, but it still dominates. Accordingly, 144 people (53%) expect gold prices to increase next week, 62 people (23%) predict prices to decrease, and 68 people (25%) believe that prices will continue to accumulate in narrow areas.
Mr. Neil Welsh - Director of Metals at Britannia Global Markets - is neutral: "Recent fluctuations are more of a positive correction than a trend reversal. There is a feeling that the market is just taking a break to consolidate before continuing to move up.
Sharing the same view, Mr. Colin Cieszynski - Chief Strategist at SIA Wealth Management - also said that he is neutral, but not because the market will be flat but because it is difficult to predict a clear direction at this time.
He assessed the CPI report as not a major driver: CPI 3%, while the forecast is 3.1%. With the US government shut down, data could be distorted. I didn't expect much and there was actually nothing remarkable."
According to him, the recovery of gold is mainly due to technical factors: The USD is not fluctuating strongly, the digital currency is also quite quiet. The recent sell-off seems to have ended and gold is bouncing back.
He believes gold could move sideways in the $4,000-$4,300-ounce range in the near term: Gold has risen too fast. Now the market is waiting for a new signal. Recent news has reflected enough in prices.
He added: The positive thing is that the $4,000/ounce mark remains strong. Gold's long-term upward momentum has not been broken. The market needs to rest to absorb the recent strong increase, completely in accordance with technical rules".
He also noted the psychological factor associated with the holiday season: "The sell-off takes place right after the Diwali festival - a rumored way of buying and selling when it is announced".

Tuesday: US consumer confidence.
Wednesday: Bank of Canada policy decision, US waitress data, FED policy decision, Bank of Japan policy decision.
