Gold price forecast

Gold prices soared amid the market facing a new wave of geopolitical risks after the US arrested Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

At 4:21 am on January 3 (local time), US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the US had carried out an operation to arrest Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

This is one of the most complex US operations in recent times and has been carefully prepared for months.

According to Reuters, the above move could pave the way for exploiting the giant oil source of this South American nation.

US President Donald Trump announced that Washington will take over this oil-producing nation. Meanwhile, Mr. Maduro has been detained at a detention center in New York since Sunday pending prosecution. This is the first time the US has conducted such a direct intervention in Latin America since 1989.

Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, President Trump said the US would "run this country until it can carry out a safe, appropriate and cautious transition process." He did not provide much details, but emphasized that the possibility of deploying US troops is not ruled out.

These developments show that geopolitical tensions are still dominating news headlines and have a strong impact on the market," said Marchel Alexandrovich - economist at Saltmarsh Economics - "It is clear that the market is facing significantly higher levels of risk from news than previous US administrations.

After this information, gold-silver prices and some precious metals surged strongly. US stock futures and Asian stock markets simultaneously increased in the first session of Asian time on Monday.

Gold price data is compared to the previous day.

The world gold market operates through two main valuation mechanisms. The first is the spot market, where prices are quoted for transactions and immediate delivery.

Second is the futures contract market, where prices are set for futures delivery. Due to year-end book closing activities, December gold contracts are currently the most actively traded on CME.
