Gold price forecast

Kitco's latest weekly gold survey shows that Wall Street experts have not yet reached a clear consensus on the short-term trend of gold prices, while the optimistic sentiment of individual investors has returned to the average level after a week of weakening precious metals.

Among the 18 experts participating in the survey, 9 people (50%) predict that gold prices may continue to increase next week. Meanwhile, 4 experts (22%) believe that prices may decrease, and 5 people (28%) believe that the market is in a balanced state as risk increases and decreases are relatively equal.

In the opposite direction, individual investors still maintain a more positive sentiment. Kitco's online survey of 340 participants showed that 62% of small traders believe that gold prices will increase next week, 16% forecast prices to decrease and 22% believe that the market may move sideways.

According to Kitco, the gold market has just experienced a less positive trading week as the precious metal could not maintain its "safe haven" role as expected. Gold prices once surged to around $5,400/ounce after geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, but the rapid increase was blocked when many traders took advantage of profit-taking.

Experts believe that price increases due to safe-haven factors are often only short-term. When initial concerns subside, the market often returns to focus on macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, currency fluctuations and policy prospects of the US Federal Reserve (Fed).

In addition, the strengthening USD and the expectation that the Fed is not in a hurry to ease monetary policy in the short term are also creating certain pressure on gold prices.

On the supporting side, some recent US economic data has increased expectations about the possibility that the Fed will soon have to cut interest rates to support the economy. According to Mr. Jeffrey Roach - chief economist of LPL Financial, the US labor market is showing signs of stagnation after a period of weak growth in 2025. If the weakening momentum continues to increase, the Fed may have to consider cutting interest rates sooner than expected.

In the context of reduced interest rate prospects and global economic risks still present, many experts believe that the demand for holding gold as a risk hedging asset may continue to be maintained in the coming time.

Gold price data is compared to a week earlier.

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

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