Gold
holds strong despite headwinds!
Gold is
heavily influenced by the US dollar now, and if it is signaled next week that
there will be 3 interest rate cuts in 2024, this will lead to a new wave of
gold buying.
As
mentioned in the headline, gold is facing headwinds, including the strong US
dollar and high bond yields. On Friday, gold reached record highs due to a
weaker US dollar and lower bond yields, but now the tailwinds have turned, and
inflation has stagnated, thus also reducing expectations for 3 interest rate
cuts next year.
Considering
the high levels of the US dollar and bond yields, it is surprising that the
price of gold has remained high, but there is no doubt that the upward momentum
has stalled. The Federal Open Market Committee will hold a meeting next week on
interest rate cuts, and it is hard to believe that rates will decrease with the
recent high inflation in the US. The tension between what the market says and
what the Fed has said has also influenced commodities. The answer here will
determine the price of gold!
It depends
on what is said next week, but if three cuts are proposed, it will send gold to
new heights.
High
figures for silver!
There is
usually a lot of resistance in the silver price just above $24.5 per ounce, but
in Wednesday's trading, silver saw a slight increase. By the end of week 11,
silver had reached $25.2 per ounce, with this, silver has moved in the right
direction, and there is a greater chance that we can also reach $26, breaking
up and surpassing the previous peaks. We have then experienced what is called
the Golden Cross, which obviously affects the market afterward. This will
likely weaken the US dollar. Silver is widely used in the industry, and we must
follow as demand is still high. We also believe that interest rate cuts
worldwide will happen soon, which will drive up the prices of precious metals.
Further
advice: Follow the Fed meeting next week, as this will be crucial for the price
of gold!
