Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent surge in gold prices, attributing it to three main factors: financial attributes, safe-haven demand, and monetary attributes, while emphasizing the long-term investment logic of gold as a super-sovereign credit asset [3][5][9]. Financial Attributes - The opportunity cost of holding gold is significantly influenced by the 10-year U.S. Treasury real interest rates, which have a negative correlation with gold prices. Following the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut in September, the market's expectation for another rate cut in October has risen to approximately 97.8% as of October 14, indicating a substantial increase compared to previous weeks [3][5]. Safe-Haven Demand - The economic impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy is becoming more apparent, with rising inflation and weak employment contributing to concerns about stagflation and long-term recession risks. This uncertainty is driving increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Recent developments, such as the U.S. government shutdown and renewed tariff tensions, are expected to further elevate market demand for safe-haven assets [5][9]. Monetary Attributes - The weakening of the U.S. dollar and the trend of de-globalization are diminishing the dollar's creditworthiness. Central banks globally are increasing their gold reserves, with the People's Bank of China having added gold for 11 consecutive months. The ongoing high fiscal deficits are likely to maintain a trend of currency depreciation relative to gold, supporting higher gold prices [5][9]. Future Outlook - The article suggests that as long as there are no significant shifts in the three factors influencing gold pricing, the bullish sentiment towards gold will continue. The long-term investment logic is reinforced by the ongoing concerns regarding U.S. debt and the trend towards de-dollarization, alongside geopolitical risks and central bank demand for gold [9].
