Why did gold prices fall again?

Despite the shortened trading week for US holidays, Trump, as usual, ignited investor sentiment and the performance of financial markets. In addition, traders are monitoring key US economic data and the US Federal Reserve’s policy expectations. Gold prices were negatively affected by the calm fears of the conflict in the Middle East, as it was announced that Israel was close to reaching a ceasefire agreement with the Lebanese Hezbollah. This is in addition to some calm from the announcement of the US Treasury Secretary nominee. This announcement has led to a sharp decline in US Treasury bond yields.

In addition, the US dollar is still hovering around its highest level in two years. So far, the US dollar index has risen by 5.4%. As is known, spot gold prices are sensitive to bonds and the US dollar because the former can affect the alternative cost of holding non-yielding bullion, and the latter can make gold more expensive for foreign investors to buy. Meanwhile, the US dollar gained in recent trading sessions as Trump pledged to impose an additional 10% tariff on goods from China. Also, he pledged to impose 25% tariffs on all products from Mexico and Canada, which led to their currencies falling by about 1% each.

Gold Price Forecast for Tomorrow and the Coming Days

Despite the recent gold sell-off, Wall Street markets remain optimistic about gold price expectations before 2025, as market observers expect gold prices to move around $2,700 and $2,800 per ounce next year, 2025.
