Gold Price Forecast

World gold prices received support at the end of the week when the USD index decreased. Recorded at 7:00 a.m. on December 29, the US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback's fluctuations against 6 major currencies, was at 107.790 points (down 0.13%).

Next week, investors and experts will focus on important economic data from the US, as global markets prepare to enter the new year with many expectations and challenges.

Monday (December 30, 2024): The US pending home sales report is due out, a key gauge of the health of the housing market, which is facing pressure from high interest rates.

Wednesday (January 1, 2025): On the first day of the new year 2025, global financial markets will take a break from trading to welcome the new year.

Thursday (January 2, 2025): Weekly US jobless claims data is expected to provide a clearer view of the labor market - a key factor in the US Federal Reserve's (FED) policy decisions.

Friday (January 3, 2025): The ISM Manufacturing PMI, a key indicator of economic activity in the manufacturing sector, will be released. Analysts expect the index to reveal growth as well as challenges in the US manufacturing industry.

Speaking to CNBC, Ajay Kedia, director of Kedia Commodities in Mumbai, said that 2025 will be a volatile year for gold prices. He predicted that the precious metal will rise in the first half of the year due to escalating geopolitical tensions, before falling due to profit-taking pressure in the second half.

With Donald Trump set to return to the White House in January, the new administration’s policies, including tariffs, deregulation and tax reform, will have far-reaching impacts on financial markets and the US economy, Kedia said. These changes are expected to increase the attractiveness of the USD, which could put pressure on gold prices.

He also recommended that investors closely monitor US economic data to assess the next steps of the US Federal Reserve (FED). After a strong 2024, the FED has forecast fewer rate cuts in 2025. The agency's monetary policy will be a key factor in shaping gold's trend in the new year.
