World gold prices skyrocket as USD weakens

According to Reuters , world gold prices increased in the trading session on February 17, fluctuating above 2,900 USD/ounce, due to a weaker USD and concerns about an impending trade war when US President Donald Trump threatened to impose tit-for-tat tariffs.

Spot gold rose 0.7% to $2,903.08 an ounce as of 0950 GMT after hitting a record high of $2,942.70 an ounce last week. US gold futures rose 0.5% to $2,915.30 an ounce.

The greenback hovered near a two-month low, making bullion cheaper for buyers holding other currencies.

“Gold continues to benefit from investors seeking safe havens amid concerns about tariffs and trade wars,” said UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo . “We continue to see gold prices rising, with a target of $3,000 an ounce. Prices are also benefiting from continued central bank demand.”

President Trump renewed his tariff threat on February 14, saying the auto tariffs would take effect as early as April 2. This is the latest in a series of trade actions he has announced since taking office for a second time.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on February 16 that Ukraine and Europe would engage in any "real negotiations" to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“Progress in ongoing peace talks between Russia and Ukraine could dampen some of gold’s gains this year, although the precious metal still has enough momentum to keep spot prices supported,” said Han Tan , chief market analyst at Exinity Group.

Gold bullion is traditionally seen as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical instability, but higher interest rates reduce the appeal of the non-yielding precious metal.

Bank of America (BOA) remained bullish on gold late last week, maintaining its $3,000/ounce price forecast, although it admitted that the target could be just another missed signal in a much larger rally, according to Kitco .

The gold market has had a strong start to the year, with prices rising to a new record high above $2,900 an ounce, up around 11% since the start of the year.

“Gold’s rally so far has been driven largely by extraordinary purchases by the official sector,” said Michael Widmer , commodity strategist at BOA, in his latest research note. “Worries about budget deficits, trade disputes, wars, sanctions and asset freezes by the US, central banks and other investors have pushed spot gold prices to record levels.”

Looking ahead, strategist Widmer explained that with central bank gold purchases dominating the market, global investment demand would only need to increase by 1% for the precious metal to reach the bank's target.

At the same time, he noted that a 10% increase in investment demand would push gold prices to $3,500 an ounce.

“The number is huge, but not impossible,” he said.

China remains an important market to watch in the coming months, Widmer explained. Last week, Beijing launched a new pilot project that will allow Chinese insurance companies to invest up to 1% of their assets in gold.

However, BOA also noted that the Chinese market is just one pillar in a dynamic and growing global gold market. Widmer explained that gold’s linear price action highlights its upside potential, and this sentiment is also reflected in derivatives markets.

Widmer points out that the gold market can be extremely complex, as the contracts and agreements made between investors incorporate physical bullion, futures contracts and even gold leases.
