Gold news analysis: On Friday (December 29) in the US market, spot gold prices traded near 2062 US dollars/ounce, boosted by the weakness of the US dollar, spot gold rose for the third consecutive week this week, up 0.5% on the weekly line. During the week, spot gold peaked at $2,088.43 an ounce. Market analysts said: the main trend of gold is still positive, and in the medium to long term, the price of gold is likely to hit $2,100 again. For now, expectations of rate cuts have driven the rally in precious metals, including gold, with the market pricing in a Fed rate cut in March and a total of 150 basis points in 2024. Weaker Treasury yields and the dollar, as well as concerns about an economic slowdown, will continue to boost gold prices. According to the CME FedWatch tool, investors are betting on an 88 percent chance that the Fed will cut rates in March.
This week will be Gold Super Week, with the once-a-month NFP data. Following the surprisingly strong performance in 2023, we expect further gold price gains in 2024, driven by three major drivers: momentum chasing hedge funds, continued steady purchases of physical gold by central banks, and a renewed influx of exchange-traded fund (ETF) investors. Going into the New Year, the theme of global central banks seems to be that lower interest rates are coming, so there is still a lot of upside for gold. Taken together, a weaker dollar helps support gold. Gold surged as the dollar and lower yields paved the way for the precious metal to close the year near its 52-week high. In addition to the above reasons, there is another factor in the market, which is the widening conflict between Israel and Gaza. These factors are expected to continue to push prices higher in the New Year. Investors expect gold prices to hit a record high next year, as the market is widely expected to be supported by a dovish turn in Federal Reserve policy, persistent geopolitical risks, and central bank purchases of gold.
