Gold Price Forecast

World gold prices plummeted amid a surge in the USD index. Recorded at 2:00 a.m. on October 1, the US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies, stood at 100.555 points (up 0.45%).

According to Jim Wyckoff - senior analyst of Kitco, the world gold price fell sharply due to some profit-taking activities from investors. However, he said that the demand for safe haven amid geopolitical concerns is maintaining the floor of the precious metal.

Jim Wyckoff said the market's focus remains on the escalating military conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Technically, December gold bulls have the strong overall near-term technical advantage. The bulls’ next upside price target is $2,800/oz.

Gold prices were also pressured as the Fed signaled a moderate pace in its next rate-cutting cycle. At the annual meeting of the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) in Nashville, Tenn., Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell struck a positive tone, noting that “the economy is in solid shape.”

“Looking ahead, if the economy evolves as expected, policy will shift toward a more neutral stance. But we are not on any pre-determined path. The risks are two-fold, and we will continue to make our decisions meeting by meeting,” said Mr. Jerome Powell.

Gold prices will continue to be affected by the Fed's interest rate policy in the coming time. Currently, according to the CME FedWatch tool, traders predict a 53% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates by another 0.5 percentage points at the next meeting. A lower interest rate will reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold, an asset considered a safe haven in times of economic and political uncertainty.

The major outside markets today saw the USD Index move higher. Nymex crude oil prices were firmer, trading around $68.75 a barrel. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield is falling, currently around 3.75%.
