Gold price forecast

Gold prices plummeted after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell reaffirmed that the central bank was in no rush to cut interest rates, causing expectations of policy easing in September to be overwhelmed with cold water.

As expected, the FED voted to keep interest rates unchanged, but this decision did not reach absolute consensus. Two members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, have disagreed, wanting to cut interest rates by another 25 basis points.

In its monetary policy statement, the Fed said economic activity had stagnated in the first half of the year. However, Powell noted that despite this slowdown, the labor market, consumer goods and the economy in general remain quite stable.

In addition, world gold prices are under pressure from the strong recovery of the US economy and the cautious attitude of central banks.

US GDP in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 3.0%, far exceeding expectations of 2.5%, dispelling concerns about recession. The increase in consumer spending along with the decrease in imports are the main factors driving growth. However, weak private investment and exports, along with domestic final spending increasing by only 1.2%, suggest that the recovery may not be sustainable. Inflation remained persistent as the core PCE index increased slightly to 2.5%, causing the Fed to not rush to ease policy.

However, the Bank of Canada (BoC) decided to keep interest rates unchanged for the second consecutive time, despite the country's economy being forecast to decline. The BoC emphasized that it will closely monitor the developments between inflationary pressures from high costs and the bearish trend due to weak economy, but has not yet given a clear signal about interest rate cuts. The sluggish delay of major central banks has caused expectations of global interest rate cuts to plummet, losing important support for gold.

After the data and policy decisions, gold prices fell more than $40/ounce. In the context of weakening supporting factors, gold may enter a deeper correction phase if market sentiment continues to be optimistic about growth and there are few concerns about macro risks.
