Gold Under Pressure: How Trump’s Win Could Trigger a Pullback inThe recent election results have led to a surge in optimism for the U.S. economy, which often reduces the appeal of safe-haven assets like gold. Historically, Trump's economic policies, especially those centered on "America First" initiatives and plans for economic growth, have shifted investment sentiment away from precious metals and toward riskier assets like stocks. This trend could strengthen further, given Trump’s approach to boost domestic productivity and potential peace talks in regions of recent geopolitical tension, including the Middle East and Ukraine. If these diplomatic goals are achieved, the traditional drivers of high gold prices, like global uncertainty, could diminish, reducing demand for the metal.
Another factor in play is the anticipation of economic growth due to promised tax reforms and potential tariffs, which could bolster the U.S. dollar. A stronger dollar usually has a negative effect on gold prices since gold is priced in dollars; as the dollar rises, gold becomes more expensive for buyers in other currencies, often reducing demand.
Currently, key technical levels and support zones in gold’s chart suggest that, while it has been resilient, prices could see corrections as investor sentiment leans bullish on equities and the dollar. For this reason, the first price target I’m watching is the $2,300 mark, where gold may stabilize temporarily before further movement depending on upcoming economic policies and geopolitical stability.
