Gold price forecast

The downward trend of gold prices in the session on January 8 was assessed by analysts as mainly technical and short-term, in the context of the global market entering the portfolio restructuring phase at the beginning of the year.

Increased selling pressure caused world gold prices to fall deeply compared to previous sessions, leading to domestic gold prices adjusting down in both SJC gold bars and gold rings. However, many opinions believe that the current correction momentum is not enough to reverse the long-term upward trend of precious metals.

According to experts, the restructuring of the global commodity index is a strong factor dominating the market in the short term. The fact that investment funds sell off strongly increased assets to rebalance their portfolios may cause gold prices to continue to fluctuate in the next few sessions.

Mr. Ole Hansen - Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank said that in this rebalancing phase, the futures contract market may record sales of up to billions of USD. However, he emphasized that this is a technical pressure, not reflecting the weakening of the fundamentals.

From a macroeconomic perspective, many driving forces supporting gold prices remain intact. The USD is in a high zone, but the medium-term outlook is assessed as unsustainable as the market continues to bet on the possibility that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates this year. In addition, concerns about public debt, geopolitical risks and the trend of diversifying reserve assets still promote the need to hold gold as a defensive asset.

Another noteworthy point is that the level of US investors' participation in gold is still low compared to history. According to analysis by Goldman Sachs, the proportion of gold in the US financial asset portfolio currently accounts for only a very small part, although gold prices have continuously peaked in recent times.

The large gap between the recommendation to increase gold allocation and the actual actions of investors is considered room for new cash flow to return to the precious metal market in the near future.

In the medium and long term, many financial institutions still maintain a positive view of gold. HSBC Bank forecasts that gold prices may reach the 5,000 USD/ounce mark in 2026, as geopolitical risks and global financial instability continue to increase.

Mr. Ole Hansen also said that gold is increasingly seen as an important monetary asset, playing a part role in replacing the USD in the context of fragmented global financial order.
