Gold price forecast

World gold prices fell last weekend despite the decline of the USD. Recorded at 6:00 a.m. on March 17, the US Dollar Index measuring the fluctuations of the greenback against 6 major currencies was at 103.365 points (down 0.13%).

Some experts believe that gold prices may continue to increase in the short term. This week the market received a series of important economic data.

Ernest Hoffman - market analyst of Kitco News said that investors are waiting for a series of important decisions from US central banks and economic data.

The first notable event is the Bank of Japan (BOJ) monetary policy meeting on Tuesday, followed by the US Federal Reserve (FED) interest rate decision on Wednesday. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) and the Bank of England (BOE) will announce interest rate policy on Thursday.

These moves could directly affect the strength of the US dollar and gold inflows. This expert believes that if the FED maintains a "hawl" stance and gives a cautious view on interest rate cuts, the USD could continue to strengthen, putting pressure on gold prices. Conversely, if the FED signals are more loose, the precious metal could maintain its upward momentum.

Commodity experts at Macquarie have raised their gold price forecast to $3,500/ounce in the third quarter of 2025. They had set a target of $3,000 for the middle of the year, but gold prices hit the milestone earlier than expected.

Meanwhile, commodity analysts at TD Securities note that gold's testing at $3,000/ounce will mark the third largest rally in modern history. They said that although risks are increasing in the market, the increase is not over.

Macro funds are still capable of buying more, but their budgets are not endless. However, larger macro factors are still supporting the increase in the medium term, the analysts said in a note.
