Gold Price Forecast

World gold prices fell amid an increase in the USD index. Recorded at 3:15 a.m. on January 18, the US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies, was at 109.225 points (up 0.37%).

Gold prices fell as investors took profits after a recent rally, pushing the precious metal to a four-week high on Thursday.

Asian and European stock markets edged higher overnight, while US indexes are expected to open higher at the start of the New York session. US indexes have rallied this week on the back of benign inflation reports released earlier in the week.

Meanwhile, Britain's FTSE 100 index hit a new record high on Friday. Indexes such as Germany's DAX and the Euro Stoxx 50 also hit intraday highs today.

China’s economy grows 5% in 2024, boosted by a strong fourth-quarter performance, with the latter part of the year seeing government stimulus and early overseas shipments to avoid potential US tariffs.

The USD index rose slightly today. The price of crude oil on the Nymex floor also increased slightly, trading around 78.75 USD/barrel. The interest rate on 10-year US Treasury bonds is currently at 4.584%.

Economic reports are scheduled to include new home output, Treasury international capital investment data, and industrial production and capacity utilization.

On the daily chart, gold futures for February delivery are trending up, giving the short-term technical advantage to the bulls.
