Gold Price Forecast

World gold prices fluctuated sharply as the USD increased. Recorded at 9:00 a.m. on January 20, the US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies, was at 109.140 points (down 0.05%).

Commenting on the short-term price of gold on Kitco, many experts gave quite positive forecasts. James Stanley - senior market strategist at Forex.com - said: "I still lean bullish, although there is a possibility of a correction. Gold prices have just broken out of the triangle pattern that has formed over the past few months.

Spot gold is testing resistance at $2,721/oz. This level has resulted in two strong reactions and this week it was the third. However, I think a slight correction to a higher low could be attractive for a continuation of the trend at this point."

Jesse Colombo, an independent precious metals analyst and creator of the BubbleBubble report, said gold’s gains against other currencies are a sign of what investors should expect, and he sees the precious metal potentially hitting a record high above $2,800 an ounce in the short term.

Colombo noted that gold's major resistance level remains at $3,000 an ounce, with many experts predicting the precious metal could reach that target in the second half of this year.

“Gold has been resting for the past two months, but now the market is accumulating a lot of potential energy,” he said. “I am very excited about the potential of gold.”

Colombo said that gold’s rise ahead of Trump’s inauguration was not unexpected. He pointed out that if the new US president starts a trade war with tariffs, the global economy will be in trouble. This could lead to higher prices for global consumers and weaker economic activity, creating a stagflationary environment, which is positive for gold.

On the other hand, Carsten Fritsch - Precious Metals Analyst at Commerzbank - commented that gold could face difficulties this week if the USD recovers from current support levels.

“It is worth noting that the previous rally in the US dollar and the sharp rise in yields did not put pressure on gold prices. Therefore, we can say that this was an asymmetric market reaction. But such episodes are usually short-lived. We are skeptical about gold’s ability to maintain its current highs. This would require further increases in rate cut expectations, a weaker US dollar and further declines in bond yields,” he said.
