Now, obviously, gold as every other asset is affected by the all the kind of news that the media discloses. But looking in the 3-5 year span, it's impossible to predict what sort of news will be around, so we'll just assume for now, that it would be a zero-sum game(no gain or loss from news).
However, I'll just mention the current strong trends happening with regards to trade, interest rate and inflation(the biggest factors affecting the XAUUSD).
-Under Trump, we've seen 3 things so far, and there's more than enough indicators pointing that to that these trends will continue:
1. Higher and Higher interest rates
2. Decreasing unemployment/Increasing inflation(these are highly correlated)
3. Tough stance of trade, recent tariffs(which I think he's using in order to raise money, that is missing from the last tax cuts). Lower trade, that usually equals to lower economic growth, since it's a fundamental idea in economics that no one benefits from trade wars for obvious reasons.
All of these factors are pointing to, somewhat of an highly heated up economy that is about to cool down. In any case most of the major economies, are way way overdue for a recession, in which gold value will undoubtedly benefit from.
Note: This is just a preliminary draft of this idea, for now I am waiting for the outcome of the ascending triangle(noted on the chart), but I will continuously update this idea in due time.
