Gold Price Forecast: Bearish Gold Outlook Below Key Support | MENAFN.COM

GOLD UNWINDS WAR RISK PREMIUM

As the mood music improves during peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, geopolitical risk premium in gold continues to unwind. Keep in mind, prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the outlook was looking rather bleak for the precious metal as the Fed were preparing to embark on the most aggressive tightening cycle in decades. This remains the case given and perhaps even more so as Powell and Co. look to hike rates in 50bps clips. Therefore, it is important for gold traders to once again focus on real yields for direction (Figure 1), which as it stands, points to lower gold prices.

As such, much like my view on risk appetite (S&P 500 fading rallies), in the absence of further geopolitical escalations, the focus will shift towards the Fed tightening financial conditions.

GOLD BEARISH BELOW KEY SUPPORT AT 1880

From a technical perspective, gold is neutral and while I am leaning towards the downside in the precious metal. Bearish conviction will grow on a break below 1880, which will also likely confirm a double top from 2070.

DAX CHART TO WATCH: PRIOR SUPPORT NOW RESISTANCE

Sky high inflation prints in the Euro Area, which kicked off with four decade high Spanish data at 9.8% vs Exp. 8%. German CPI prints also notably firmer. Alongside this, with the plethora of ECB speakers talking up the prospect ofending asset purchases in Q3 followed by rates hikes.

Main comment: ECB's Kazimir - Wants ECB to end negative rates in the next 12 months. (money markets see this happening by year end)

In turn, this has prompted a shift in ECB rate expectations, which for the DAX has seen the index begin to stall at resistance (previously support) situated at 14800-15000.

    • Recently, the Australian S&P/ASX 200 index slightly fell by 0.01%, with this fluctuation mainly influenced by the latest release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. This data not only demonstrates current inflationary pressures but also directly impacts the stock market in the short term. Senior analyst Thomas McGee delves into the impact of these economic indicators on the Australian stock market and discusses the economic logic behind this data and its potential effects on future monetary policy by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). Market Impact of Inflation Data The CPI data for the first quarter released today showed an annual growth rate of 3.6%, surpassing the market expectation of 3.4%. This immediate announcement led to a drop of about 0.5% in the S&P/ASX 200 index, and the market failed to recover these losses by the closing bell. Thomas McGee points out that this rapid response highlights the sensitivity of investors to inflation trends and their immediate impact on the stock market. In addition to the direct reaction of the stock market, the yield of Australian 2-year government bonds also significantly rose by 0.12%, breaking the 4.4% level for the first time since December last year. This change not only reflects the response of the bond market to the CPI data but may also indicate a cautious stance by the RBA regarding rate adjustments in the short term. Forward-looking Analysis of Monetary Policy Following the release of inflation data, the expectation on the market of the first rate cut of RBA has been postponed to after 2025. Thomas McGee emphasizes the importance of this change for investment strategies. He suggests that investors consider how changes in monetary policy will affect market dynamics when making long-term investment decisions, especially in a scenario where rates may remain elevated for an extended period. With inflation data showing higher than expected figures, the market predicts that the RBA may not cut rates in the short term, intensifying expectations of rate hikes. Thomas McGee mentions that this shift in expectations requires investors to reassess their investment portfolios, particularly in terms of fixed-income asset allocation. Furthermore, Thomas McGee notes that although the market may face pressure in the short term, this could also present entry opportunities for investors seeking higher yields. Companies that can maintain cash flow in a high-rate environment may become preferred investment targets. Addressing Challenges and Seizing Opportunities Despite the uncertainties and challenges brought by the current inflation data, Thomas McGee believes that investors can still find stable investment opportunities in this complex environment through thorough market analysis and understanding of future economic policy trends. He encourages investors to maintain flexible investment strategies while closely monitoring changes in economic indicators and central bank policies to effectively address potential market fluctuations and achieve value growth in future investments.
