Gold prices then largely traded within that range, although the spot market set a weekly high of $2,042.53 on Wednesday morning and tested support near $2,021 on Thursday as well. and Friday.
Kitco News’ latest weekly gold survey shows that Wall Street and Main Street both appear to be in agreement on price expectations. Both see little chance of a significant sell-off in the coming days as the market comes to a consensus forecast of “stable with a chance of a profit” next week.
Adrian Day, Chairman of Adrian Day Asset Management, sees gold price action continuing to move sideways in a positive direction. “Gold fell once more following Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell quashed expectations for a near-term rate cut,” he said. Gold appears to have established a solid bottom and will soon start rising once more.”
James Stanley, senior market strategist at Forex.com, has returned to the bullish camp following casting doubt on gold’s short-term potential last week. “Gold has held above the $2,000 support zone and even as the US Dollar had its biggest two-day rally in a year, gold still held high support,” he said. So the bullish structure is still there and there are still many factors protecting that structure.”
Stanley believes that the next price trend will be driven by the CPI report. “If we see the core CPI rise above 4% year-on-year, that might pose some risks that might be negative for gold,” he said. However, the strategist expects the CPI to decline. light and that might present an opportunity for bulls.
Bob Haberkorn, Senior Commodities Broker at RJO Futures, said Friday’s weakness in gold prices was due to the market reacting to China data while betting on US data next week. Haberkorn also pointed out that the rising stock market is weighing on gold prices. “The US stock market is currently trading with the S&P above 5000 and the NASDAQ is hitting highs, so gold will lose a bit of its appeal,” he said.
He said currently gold prices are stuck between $2,000 and $2,075. Gold needs a rise above $2,075 to breakout. He thinks this might happen next week with data coming out. However this week, the US stock market is strong, China’s inflation data is weaker than expected, this is an environment where gold is unlikely to have any price increase.
Haberkorn also sees downside risks next week. He said that if gold returns to $1,950 and possibly even beyond, some bulls might push prices even lower to reset gains. He emphasized that gold’s short-term direction will really depend on inflation data. “If the results are better than expected here, gold prices will likely recover which would signal to the Fed that they are more likely to cut interest rates,” Haberkorn said. If it is higher than expected, gold might lose the $2,000 mark.”
Haberkorn agrees that the Biden administration’s retaliatory strikes once morest Iran’s allied groups were predetermined when they occurred and that markets are now awaiting the next geopolitical impact.
