Gold Price Forecast

World gold prices are under pressure this weekend amid an increase in the USD index. Recorded at 7:00 a.m. on January 19, 2025, the US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies, was at 109,200 points (up 0.35%).

Many experts are giving quite positive comments about gold prices next week. Carsten Fritsch - commodity analyst at Commerzbank - said that gold prices can maintain the current high level.

“Gold prices rose to a one-month high of $2,725 an ounce last week, and are on track for their third consecutive weekly gain. However, the reasons behind the rise have changed.

Initially, the price increase was due to geopolitical uncertainties and increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. In recent days, this factor has been reduced as a six-week ceasefire was agreed between Israel and Hamas, which is expected to take effect at the end of the week," said Carsten Fritsch.

“Meanwhile, interest rate expectations have recently returned to the fore. Following weaker-than-expected US inflation data, markets are pricing in several more rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve. This has slowed the dollar’s ​​rally and led to a decline in US bond yields.

However, it is worth noting that the previous appreciation of the USD and the significant increase in yields did not have much impact on the price of gold. Therefore, we can talk about a disproportionate market reaction.

Such periods are not likely to last. We are skeptical that gold prices can sustain current highs. This would require further rate cut expectations, a weaker US dollar and further declines in bond yields," Fritsch added.

“I remain optimistic,” said Michael Moor, founder of Moor Analytics.

“The rally continues into February and will likely decline thereafter,” said Mark Leibovit, publisher of VR Metals/Resource Letter.
