Gold price forecast

World gold prices had a strong breakout over the weekend, erasing losses at the beginning of the week and soaring towards the important resistance level of 3,400 USD/ounce, in the context of weak US labor data raising hopes that the US Federal Reserve (FED) will cut interest rates in September.

The weaker-than-expected jobs report weakens confidence in the US economy, putting pressure on the USD as the market expects the Fed to ease policy to stimulate growth, said Aaron Hill, senior market analyst at FP Markets. With gold, poor labor data further strengthens the role of safe-haven assets, boosting prices as investors seek stability.

Jamie Cox CEO at Harris Financial Group commented: In September, the Fed will almost certainly cut interest rates, possibly by 50 basis points to make up for the lost time.

According to the CME FedWatch tool tool tool, the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in September has now increased to about 92%, compared to only 38% on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Lukman Otunuga - Senior Market Strategist at FXTM - commented: "Buyers are attacking strongly with the mark of 3,400 USD/ounce less than 2%. When it closes the week above $3,330/ounce, gold prices could head towards $3,400.

Mr. Naeem Aslam - Investment Director at Zaye Capital Markets - commented that interest rate cut expectations are changing rapidly and gold is likely to reach the mark of 3,400 USD/ounce.

If the Fed signals a dovish stance, speculative capital flows could push prices above the psychological level of 3,400, especially in the context of investors seeking safe assets amid economic uncertainty.

Technical indicators such as the upward trend in gold ETFs and the volume of open-end contracts are supporting the possibility of a breakthrough. Investors seem to be preparing for an autumn rally, as gold typically improves after August. Although fluctuations may hold back short-term gains, the general trend is still positive and the quiet summer season may be over.

Notable economic data next week

Tuesday: ISM Service PMI (USA).

Wednesday: The US auctions a 10-year Treasury note.

Thursday: Bank of England monetary policy decision, US weekly jobless claims.
