Key Factors Behind This Week’s Pullback
- Easing Trade Tensions: The resumption of dialogue between the U.S. and China boosted equity markets and weakened demand for safe-haven assets.
- Stable Treasury Yields: With bond yields steady, the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold increased.
- Improved Risk Appetite: Investors moved back into equities as recession fears moderated slightly.
Despite this week’s decline, gold’s longer-term trajectory remains bullish, supported by lingering geopolitical uncertainties and potential economic volatility.
“While short-term corrections are healthy, the underlying global risks continue to support gold as a strategic asset,” noted analysts at GoldPrice.org.
Market Outlook
Analysts believe gold could stay range-bound in the near term, with support levels around $3,280/oz and resistance near $3,350/oz, depending on upcoming U.S. economic data and geopolitical developments.
Continued volatility across global markets could spark renewed buying interest in gold, keeping it a favored asset for risk-averse investors.
