Recent Price Fluctuations - As of June 25, 2025, the international gold price is reported at $3322.93 per ounce, a drop of $46 (1.37%) from the previous day, marking a two-week low [1] - Domestic gold jewelry prices have decreased to 1012 yuan per gram, with a daily drop of 8 yuan, while the Shenzhen Shui Bei wholesale market price has fallen to 785 yuan per gram [1] - Compared to early April, when gold prices peaked at 1033 yuan per gram due to risk aversion, the recent cumulative decline exceeds 20% [1] Reasons for the Decline - The easing of tensions in the Middle East, particularly the announcement of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran by Trump, has led to a significant reduction in safe-haven demand [2] - The Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, with Powell indicating the need for more time to assess the impact of tariffs on inflation, has delayed interest rate cuts until September [3] - Technical factors have also played a role, as gold prices fell below the critical support level of $3350, triggering programmatic selling [4] Core Factors Influencing Gold Prices - Geopolitical events and risk aversion have historically driven gold prices, with conflicts in the Middle East causing spikes in gold prices. The recent ceasefire has led to a withdrawal of safe-haven funds [5] - The Federal Reserve's cautious approach and a strong dollar are putting downward pressure on gold prices [6] - The U.S. fiscal deficit, potentially increased by Trump's "big and beautiful" plan by $2.8 trillion, could be a long-term positive for gold [7] - Inflationary pressures from tariffs, with an average U.S. tariff rate of 16%, are currently exerting short-term pressure on gold prices due to delayed transmission effects [8] Consumption and Investment Trends - Investment options include gold ETFs, which have low entry barriers and high liquidity, making them suitable for ordinary investors [10] - Bank paper gold offers no storage costs and supports regular investment, appealing to long-term savers [10] - Physical gold provides psychological security but comes with high premiums and low liquidity, attracting those with inheritance needs or extreme risk aversion [10] Future Outlook - Short-term (1-3 months): Gold prices are expected to fluctuate within the $3300-$3400 range, with potential breakthroughs dependent on escalations in Middle Eastern conflicts or signals of interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve [12] - Key observation points include Powell's congressional testimony on June 25 and the stability of the Israel-Iran ceasefire agreement [13][14] - Long-term (2026): Predictions vary significantly, with bullish forecasts from Goldman Sachs and Bank of America suggesting gold could reach $4000 due to central bank purchases and weakening dollar credit, while bearish views from Citigroup predict a drop to $2500 due to weak investment demand [15][16]
