Core Viewpoint - The current fluctuations in gold prices are significantly influenced by Federal Reserve policy expectations, geopolitical situations, and central bank gold purchasing behaviors [2][3][4]. Group 1: Federal Reserve Policy Expectations - The expectation of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve is a key factor affecting gold prices. Recent poor ADP employment data did not lead to a clear indication of rate cuts from Powell, diminishing the likelihood of a July cut and leaving a 75% probability for September [2]. - Rising U.S. Treasury yields have made government bonds more attractive to investors, reducing the appeal of gold [2]. Group 2: Geopolitical Situations - Geopolitical tensions significantly impact the demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. A calming situation in the Middle East has led to a withdrawal of safe-haven funds, causing gold prices to drop [2]. - However, the complexity of geopolitical issues suggests that any easing may be temporary, and renewed conflicts could quickly increase demand for gold [2]. Group 3: Central Bank Gold Purchasing Behavior - The trend of global central banks purchasing gold affects supply, demand, and market confidence. According to the World Gold Council, nearly 43% of surveyed central banks plan to increase their gold reserves [3]. - Recent data indicates zero growth in China's gold reserves for May, and India's plans to increase import duties may lead to market panic among retail investors [3]. Group 4: Gold Price Outlook - In the short term, gold prices are under pressure due to unclear Federal Reserve rate cut expectations, a calming geopolitical landscape with uncertainties, and changing central bank purchasing behaviors [4]. - Long-term prospects for gold remain strong due to ongoing geopolitical conflicts and complex economic conditions, with central banks continuing to accumulate gold, providing some support for prices [4].

Group 1: Macroeconomic Analysis - There is a divergence in expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's policy, with the market anticipating at least one rate cut this year, but the timing and extent remain uncertain.

Group 2: Technical Analysis - Technical charts indicate short-term support levels at $2280 and $2255, with resistance levels at $2340 and $2365. The MACD on the daily chart has formed a bearish crossover, and the RSI has retreated to neutral territory, suggesting weakened momentum [5]. - A head-and-shoulders pattern has formed on the 4-hour chart, indicating that a drop below $2280 could lead to further testing of the $2250-$2230 range. Additionally, CFTC data shows a reduction in net long positions by hedge funds, reflecting cautious sentiment among institutions [5]. Group 3: Short-term Outlook and Strategy Recommendations - The short-term outlook is bearish with expectations of a corrective phase, likely maintaining a trading range between $2255 and $2340. Short-term traders are advised to adopt a buy-low, sell-high strategy while awaiting a clearer directional breakout [6]. - The medium-term view suggests positioning for potential gains on dips, especially if upcoming non-farm and inflation data disappoint, which could weaken the dollar and boost gold prices.

Core Viewpoint - The recent decline in gold prices reflects a shift in market sentiment and investor risk appetite, driven by rising optimism in global trade and uncertainty regarding the Federal Reserve's policy direction [1][5]. Market Performance - Spot gold prices fell over 2% on Wednesday, reaching a low of $3181.62 per ounce, the lowest level since April 11, with intraday lows hitting $3174.62 [3]. - Other precious metals also experienced declines: silver dropped 1.9% to $32.25 per ounce, platinum fell 0.6% to $982.05 per ounce, and palladium decreased 0.3% to $954.36 per ounce, indicating overall pressure in the precious metals market [3]. Trade Sentiment - The increase in trade optimism has significantly boosted market risk appetite, leading investors to shift funds from traditional safe-haven assets like gold to riskier assets such as stocks and commodities [3][4]. Federal Reserve Policy Expectations - Market participants are awaiting the release of the Producer Price Index (PPI) data for clues on the Federal Reserve's policy adjustments, with expectations that a higher-than-expected PPI could reinforce the likelihood of interest rate hikes, further pressuring gold prices [4]. Technical Analysis - The recent drop in gold prices may be seen as a correction following a period of significant increases driven by global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions [4]. - The relative strength of the U.S. dollar has negatively impacted gold prices, as gold is priced in dollars, making it less attractive to investors holding other currencies [4]. Long-term Outlook - Despite the recent price drop, analysts believe that gold's long-term value as a safe-haven asset remains intact due to ongoing global economic recovery uncertainties and geopolitical risks [4][5]. - The continued implementation of loose monetary policies by global central banks may enhance gold's appeal as a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation [4].
