Future Outlook for Gold Prices: Technical Analysis and Economic Shifts Supporting the Bullish Trend of the Yellow Metal

Gold prices reached $2,763 yesterday, marking the highest level since October 31, 2024, when it reached $2,790, its all-time high. It is currently trading near the $2,760 level. Gold has risen by about 9% since the low of November 14, 2024, when it was at $2,537, reaching the peak of $2,763 yesterday. It has also risen about 5% since the beginning of the year. The biggest challenge now is for gold to reach and surpass the $2,790 level.

Factors supporting gold prices include, but are not limited to:

  • Central Bank Gold Purchases: Ongoing gold buying by central banks, especially the People’s Bank of China. Additionally, Chinese citizens continue to buy gold as a hedge against economic uncertainty in China.
  • U.S. Inflation: U.S. inflation remains persistent, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.9% year-over-year in December, in line with analysts’ expectations but higher than the November reading of 2.7%. This supports gold as a hedge against inflation.
  • Geopolitical Tensions: The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, along with the potential for further tensions, could positively affect gold prices as it remains a traditional safe-haven asset.
  • Trade Tensions: Anticipation of trade tensions between the U.S. and other countries such as Mexico, Canada, China, and the European Union. President Trump announced the imposition of tariffs of 25% on goods imported from Mexico and Canada, and 10% on China starting February 1. He also threatened the EU with tariffs unless they purchase oil and gas from the U.S.
  • Interest Rates: A 100 basis points reduction in U.S. interest rates last year, with expectations of further cuts this year, which could have a positive impact on gold.
  • Rising U.S. Debt: U.S. debt has surpassed $36 trillion, and projections suggest it will continue to rise.

From a technical perspective, indicators suggest that gold prices may continue to rise for the following reasons:

  1. Golden Cross: The 20-day moving average (gray line), currently around $2,669, has crossed above the 50-day moving average (blue line), which is around $2,649. This suggests a bullish trend for gold.
  2. Relative Strength Index (RSI): Currently at 67, the RSI indicates bullish momentum for the yellow metal.
  3. MACD Indicator: The MACD (blue line) has crossed above the signal line (orange line), indicating continued upward momentum for gold.
