Gold price forecast
Trading on CME was suspended overnight after a technical problem. Gold prices still recorded impressive gains, exceeding 4,200 USD/ounce.
World gold prices increased sharply in the context of a more positive short-term technical outlook. The bulls' upward target for February gold contracts is to close above the strong resistance level at the November peak of 4,285.6 USD/ounce. The short-term downside target for the bears is to pull prices below the important support level of $4,000/ounce.
The first resistance level was recorded at 4,250 USD/ounce, then 4,285.6 USD/ounce. First support was at the bottom of overnight at $4,174.6 an ounce, followed by $4,150 an ounce.
Officially announcing the technical failure, CME Group said: Due to the cooling problem at the CyrusOne data center, our markets are currently on hold. The support department is working to fix it as soon as possible and will notify customers about the opening time before the transaction session as soon as possible".
After the longest technical problem in recent years, CME said all future contract trading activities, including gold and silver, were restored right before the North American trading session.
Notably, demand for gold is expected to continue to increase in the coming months, driven by interest rate cuts, falling bond yields, fiscal challenges and political chaos in the US, according to a new report from Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS - one of the world's largest financial and banking services groups, headquartered in Switzerland).
UBS analysts believe that the weak US fiscal outlook will continue to boost central bank and investor gold purchases, and they expect demand for gold ETFs to remain strong in 2026. However, they also warned that the possibility of the Fed becoming more tailor-made and the risk of central banks selling gold are key challenges for their optimistic outlook.
Note: Gold price data is compared to a day earlier.
The world gold market operates through two main valuation mechanisms. The first is the spot delivery market, where prices are quoted for transactions and spot deliveries.
Second is the futures contract market, which sets prices for future deliveries. Due to year-end book-taking activities, December gold contracts are currently the most actively traded on CME.
