Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD shows slight increases above $2,600, with attention on Trump’s policies

Gold price continues its positive momentum during Thursday’s early Asian session, hovering around $2,625. Several factors are supporting the upward movement of gold, including geopolitical risks, central bank buying, and safe-haven flows. However, the expectation of a slower pace of the Fed rate cut may limit the yellow metal’s upside potential. The uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump’s tariff policies and incoming President’s policies, as well as ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, are also contributing to the positive sentiment towards gold. In addition, an increase in global central banks’ gold demand is expected to further boost the precious metal’s price, with major central banks likely to purchase more gold in the next 12 months.

Gold has always played a significant role in human history, serving as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Apart from being used in jewelry, gold is widely recognized as a safe-haven asset, making it a popular investment choice during turbulent times. Additionally, gold is considered a hedge against inflation and depreciating currencies due to its independence from any specific issuer or government. Central banks are among the largest holders of gold, with the aim of diversifying their reserves and enhancing the perceived strength of their respective economies and currencies. In 2022, central banks added 1,136 tonnes of gold worth approximately $70 billion to their reserves, marking the highest yearly purchase since records began. As emerging economies such as China, India, and Turkey rapidly increase their gold reserves, gold is becoming increasingly important for global financial stability.

Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the dollar depreciates, gold tends to rise, allowing investors and central banks to diversify their assets during uncertain times. Gold also has an inverse relationship with risk assets, as a rally in the stock market often weakens the price of gold, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to support the precious metal. Various factors can influence the price of gold, including geopolitical instability, fears of a deep recession, and interest rate movements. As a yield-less asset, gold tends to rise when interest rates are lower, while higher interest rates typically exert downward pressure on the price of gold. Ultimately, the performance of gold is closely tied to the behavior of the US Dollar, as the asset is priced in dollars. A strong dollar usually keeps the price of gold in check, whereas a weaker dollar tends to push gold prices higher.

As traders await fresh catalysts that could impact the Fed’s interest rate outlook this year, upcoming economic data releases such as the US weekly Initial Jobless Claims and the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for December will be closely monitored. Amidst the uncertainties surrounding global economic conditions and political developments, gold is likely to maintain its positive ground. While the cautious stance of the Fed may limit the yellow metal’s upside potential, factors such as central bank buying, safe-haven flows, and geopolitical risks are expected to support the price of gold in the coming months. With major central banks showing increased interest in purchasing gold, the precious metal is poised to remain a significant asset for investors seeking stability in uncertain times.
