Gold Price Forecast

World gold prices cooled down amid an upward trend in the USD index. Recorded at 8:30 a.m. on July 19, the US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies, stood at 103.967 points (up 0.05%).

The US Federal Reserve's expected interest rate cut in September and US presidential candidate Donald Trump's support for lower interest rates and tariffs are combining to boost demand for gold, said Arslan Ali, currency and commodities analyst at FX Empire.

“Lower interest rates typically make non-yielding assets like gold more attractive to investors. Additionally, former US President Donald Trump’s support for tax cuts, interest rate cuts and tariff hikes has further supported gold prices. This policy stance is seen as potentially inflationary and could weaken the US dollar, making gold a more attractive safe-haven asset,” said Arslan Ali.

However, this expert commented that despite these many favorable factors, the strength of the USD is still holding back the increase in gold.

“US retail sales in June remained steady at $704.3 billion, indicating steady consumer spending. Despite a stronger US dollar, the stability of retail sales coupled with the Fed’s cautious stance on rate cuts has contributed to gold’s recent rally.

Investors are turning to gold as a hedge against future Fed rate hikes and economic growth prospects,” said Arslan Ali.

Analysts expect gold to continue to be a long-term source of profit, boosted by the Fed's preparations to cut interest rates, believing inflation will be controlled, said Russell Shor, senior market expert at Tradu.

In addition, geopolitical instability and demand from central banks are also creating a positive medium- and long-term outlook for gold.

According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the market is pricing in a 100% chance of a US interest rate cut in September.
