Gold price forecast

According to the weekly gold survey of an international financial information platform, market analysts are becoming optimistic.

Its clear that the US job market is not gold yet, said Adrian Day, president of the Federal Reserve, and government jobs data is clear evidence of that, said Adrian Day, president of Adrian Day Asset Management Company.

Since the job market was the main pillar for Mr. Powell to citate not cutting interest rates this week, this new job report created significant pressure to cut in September. So after two weeks of a slight decline in gold prices, we expect prices to increase this week.

The weaker-than-expected jobs report weakens confidence in the US economy, putting pressure on the USD as the market expects the Fed to ease policy to stimulate growth, said Aaron Hill, senior market analyst at FP Markets. With gold, poor labor data further strengthens the role of safe-haven assets, boosting prices as investors seek stability.

Michael Brown Market strategist at Pepperstone maintains an optimistic view on gold, believing that global trade instability is the main driving force for gold's value as a currency asset.

The trend of diversifying reserves away from the US dollar and moving towards gold, especially in emerging markets, will continue in the near future. In addition, demand for shelter amid concerns about the US economy will continue to strengthen the upward trend.

The prices to watch are $3,400/ounce, then the peak around $3,445/ounce, and the possibility of breaking a new record at $3,500/ounce. I absolutely do not rule out the possibility of gold prices reaching a new peak before the end of 2025" - Michael Brown said.

Goldman Sachs one of the worlds leading investment banks, has repeatedly suggested a scenario where gold prices could surpass $4,000/ounce in the coming quarters.

Notable economic data this week

Tuesday: ISM Service PMI (USA).

Wednesday: The US auctions a 10-year Treasury note.

Thursday: Bank of England monetary policy decision, US weekly jobless claims.

Note: Gold price data is compared to a day earlier.
