Weak US economic data has reinforced investors' confidence that interest rates have peaked and the US Federal Reserve (FED) will soon cut interest rates, possibly from the middle of next year. Meanwhile, many concerns that geopolitical tensions in some regions of the world may escalate further, this information is beneficial for gold.
UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said the price drop is a good buying opportunity because the Fed will cut interest rates at some point. This expert forecasts that gold prices will rise to $2,150 an ounce by the end of 2024.
According to Quant Insight expert Huw Roberts, gold prices are lacking a catalyst to increase prices. This expert noted that the gold market is in a positive macro mode and is growing; however, there is no strong buying signal. He said that the market is in a spiraling pattern, fluctuating within a narrow range and waiting for a new catalyst to break out.
Meanwhile, Daniel Ghali - commodity strategist at TD Securities - commented that the FED's interest rate cutting cycle starting earlier in 2024 is the main driver pushing gold prices higher.
The US Dollar Index has risen to a daily high and that is limiting some of the buying demand for gold, said senior analyst Jim Wyckoff at Kitco Metals.
According to CME's FedWatch Tool, the gold market seems certain that there will be no further rate hikes and nearly 60% see a chance of at least a 25 basis point rate cut by May next year.
