Gold price forecast

The developments of the gold market in recent sessions show a clear stalemate after a strong increase to set a new record. World gold prices, although closing the week in a high zone, have seen quite strong corrections as investor sentiment has become more cautious in the face of monetary policy signals from the US.

According to international experts, short-term pressure on gold prices comes from the recovery of the USD and US bond yields, in the context of expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will soon cut interest rates gradually cooling down. Statements related to the process of finding a successor to the current Fed Chairman have caused strong fluctuations in global financial markets, leading to profit-taking activities in the precious metal market.

Mr. Neil Welsh - Head of Metals at Britannia Global Markets - said that gold fluctuating around the 4,600 USD/ounce mark reflects a necessary accumulation period after a period of hot gains. According to him, this is not a sign that the upward trend has ended, but rather the market's self-balancing process before determining the next growth momentum.

From a technical perspective, some experts warn of the risk of short-term correction as quantitative indicators are in the overbought zone. Mr. Lukman Otunuga - senior market analyst at FXTM, said that if gold prices persistently fall below the important support zone around 4,570 USD/ounce, the market may witness a deeper correction to lower levels. However, in a positive scenario, if it surpasses the recent peak, gold still has the opportunity to move towards new highs.

However, most opinions still agree that the long-term outlook for gold has not been broken. The underlying factors such as geopolitical instability, concerns about the independence of monetary policy, the trend of central banks increasing gold reserves, and global financial risks continue to play a supporting role for the precious metal.

In the short term, gold prices are forecast to fluctuate strongly following upcoming messages from the Fed and global economic and political developments. Investors are recommended to be cautious with "price chasing" decisions in the high zone, and closely monitor correction phases to re-evaluate opportunities in the medium and long term.
