 Record closing week for gold!

Week 9 concludes with optimism in the gold market, but analysts still recommend caution regarding gold next week.

Purchases of precious metals increased on Friday as production activity in the market was slower than anticipated. This also demonstrates the significant potential gold possesses.

 

Gold futures

April futures have been traded at $2095.20 per ounce, marking a 2% increase from the previous week. This is the best performance in 2024 and has resulted in a new record closing price.

Analysts do not see this uptrend supported by strong fundamental factors and believe that profit-taking and volatility could push prices back. They also add that they believe the price in the next week will be maximum $2,088 per ounce.

This analysis is also supported by economists on Wall Street, who have begun to doubt that there will be further interest rate cuts. On the contrary, perhaps the next move could be an interest rate increase, which could force down the price of gold.


The graph shows the spot price above 2075, and we also see that gold reached a record high in December, up to $2,135.60.



Silver futures

There is expected global demand for silver.

It is particularly the enormous and growing middle class in India that demands more and more silver for jewelry, but also the energy sector, the telecom sector, and the defense industry require silver for things like solar panels, mobile phones, aircraft, satellites, and weapons. Especially the latter two industries are expected to grow significantly.

The second factor affecting the silver price is the central bank lowering interest rates, something analysts expect to happen during 2024.

Analysts believe that the lower interest rates will bode well for silver, especially as demand is high. It is expected that the price will reach $30 per ounce, which will be the highest level in the past 10 years.

  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...

  Markedet er i en reflasjonær modus, noe som betyr at det er betydelig etterspørsel etter råvarer over hele verden. Dette gjelder alle varer, ikke bare gull; det inkluderer olje, sølv, kobber og mer. I tillegg når den amerikanske dollaren sine topper.   Dette er noen av de mest volatile makroperiodene!!!     Høye tall også for sølv!   Prisen på sølv stiger ettersom handelen er fokusert på gullmarkedet. Korrelasjonen mellom gull og sølv holder seg under 85, noe som er veldig positivt for sølv.   Sølv beveger seg mot nærmeste motstandsnivå på $27,80-$30, som også er i tråd med vår kortsiktige prognose.       Vi har opplevd det som er kjent som et Golden Cross, som tydeligvis påvirker markedet etterpå. Dette vil sannsynligvis føre til en svekkelse av amerikanske dollar.   I tillegg forventer vi at rentekutt vil skje over hele verden snart, noe som vil drive opp prisene på edle metaller     Ytterligere råd:   Sølv er mye bruk...
