Gold price forecast

World gold prices reversed to increase in the last trading session of the week, returning above the psychological milestone of 4,000 USD/ounce. However, analysts believe that this recovery mainly stems from buy-and-sell status compensation after the previous sharp decline session, which is not enough to confirm a sustainable upward trend.

Spot gold at one point fell to nearly $3,960/ounce, then recovered and ended the session around $4,007/ounce. Despite rising nearly 1% in the last session of the week, the precious metal still decreased by about 2.5% compared to the beginning of the week, showing that adjustment pressure has not completely ended.

US economic data is sending mixed signals. The consumer price index (CPI) and producer price index (PPI) in June cooled down, contributing to reducing concerns about inflation. However, retail sales, unemployment claims and manufacturing activity in the Philadelphia area were more positive than forecast, reflecting that the US economy and labor market still maintained resilience.

The preliminary consumer confidence index of the University of Michigan increased from 49.5 to 54.4 points, while one-year inflation expectations fell from 4.6% to 4.2%. These data helped stabilize gold prices, but were not enough to eliminate interest rate risks from the US Federal Reserve (Fed).

The yield on 10-year US government bonds is still around 4.53%, while the USD remains high. These are two factors that may limit the attractiveness of gold, because the precious metal does not yield yields and becomes more expensive for investors using other currencies.

Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to create two-way impacts. Geopolitical risks may boost safe-haven demand, but West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices exceeding 81 USD/barrel and Brent oil approaching 87 USD/barrel are increasing the risk of inflation. This could cause the Fed to maintain a more cautious monetary policy for longer, thereby putting pressure on gold.

Technically, the 4, 023-4, 024 USD/ounce zone is a near resistance level. If it surpasses and maintains above this zone, gold prices may head towards 4, 054 USD/ounce. Conversely, falling below 3, 969 USD/ounce may pull prices back to the support zone of 3, 950 USD/ounce, or even lower.

Investors next week need to monitor Fed officials' statements, bond yield developments, the USD, oil prices and transportation through the Strait of Hormuz. The article provides only reference information, not investment recommendations.
