Gold Price Forecast

World gold prices fell as the USD index remained high. Recorded at 6:00 a.m. on November 18, the US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies, stood at 106.620 points (up 0.02%).

After the US presidential election and new moves from the US Federal Reserve (FED), the USD price skyrocketed, putting pressure on gold. In addition, the stable geopolitical environment also makes it difficult for gold to recover.

In a recent note, CBA Bank experts emphasized that the greenback's recovery shows that the market is expecting inflation to increase due to tax cuts and tariffs.

President-elect Donald Trump’s tariff policies are raising concerns that interest rates will have to stay high for longer to counter inflation, which is helping to push the dollar higher and putting pressure on precious metals, according to Citi’s global head of commodities research Maximilian Layton.

Notably, the world's leading gold trust fund, SPDR Gold Trust, continued to sell a large amount of gold last week, about 6.92 tons of gold. From the beginning of the month to the end of November 15, the SPDR fund sold a total of nearly 22 tons of gold, and in the first 6 months of the year, the fund sold a net 50 tons of gold. This move shows a dramatic reversal of large cash flows for gold.

This week’s economic calendar focuses on the US housing sector. The market will receive data on US housing starts and building permits for October on Tuesday, MBA mortgage applications on Wednesday and October existing home sales on Thursday.

Other highlights include the Philly Federal Reserve manufacturing index on Thursday, with market participants watching to see if the Philadelphia region sees a strong increase in manufacturing activity like nearby New York state. Finally, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment for November.
