Core Viewpoint - The gold market is influenced by multiple factors, including Federal Reserve interest rate expectations, geopolitical tensions, and economic data performance [2][3]. Group 1: Gold Price Movements - Domestic gold price (99.95%) is quoted at 781.12 CNY per gram, up 0.71% [1]. - International gold price is reported at 3411.4 USD per ounce, down 0.21% [2]. Group 2: Influential Factors - Federal Reserve Rate Cut Expectations: The market anticipates a 25 basis point rate cut in September, with a nearly 100% probability according to CME FedWatch. However, internal disagreements within the Fed regarding inflation concerns add uncertainty [2]. - Geopolitical Situation: Accelerating peace talks between Russia and Ukraine may reduce gold's safe-haven demand if tensions ease, while increased geopolitical tensions could enhance gold's appeal [2]. - Economic Data Performance: Key economic indicators like U.S. non-farm payrolls and CPI are under scrutiny. Weak data could support the case for rate cuts, bolstering gold prices, while strong data may lead to volatility [2]. Group 3: Market Outlook - Short-term gold price movements will be primarily driven by Federal Reserve rate cut signals and changes in geopolitical tensions. Clear signals from the Fed or heightened geopolitical risks could lead to price increases, while the opposite may apply [3]. - In the long term, increased global economic uncertainty and the onset of a rate cut cycle could provide upward momentum for gold as a safe-haven and inflation hedge, though improvements in economic data or shifts in Fed policy could pose risks of price corrections [3].

Group 1: Market Outlook - The gold market outlook for the week of August 26 to August 30, 2025, will be influenced by complex and interrelated factors including geopolitical tensions, economic data, monetary policy, and market supply-demand dynamics [3] Group 2: Geopolitical Factors - The ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the potential for conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, could significantly impact gold prices as increased risk aversion may drive investors towards gold as a safe-haven asset [4] Group 3: Monetary Policy Impact - Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's recent comments suggest a potential for interest rate cuts in the coming months, which has led to increased market speculation regarding a nearly 100 basis point reduction by year-end [5] Group 4: Technical Analysis - Current gold prices are showing a bullish trend, with key moving averages indicating support for short-term bullish positions. A successful breakout above the resistance level of $3380 - $3400 per ounce could lead to further upward movement, targeting $3400 - $3450 per ounce [6] - Conversely, failure to break through resistance and a drop below the short-term support level of $3350 per ounce could result in a bearish trend, with potential support at $3320 per ounce [6]

Core Viewpoint - The current gold prices are influenced by various factors including Federal Reserve policy expectations, geopolitical tensions, and the strength of the US dollar [3][4]. Group 1: Gold Price Movements - Domestic gold price (99.95%) is quoted at 776.08 CNY per gram, down 0.01% [1]. - International gold price is reported at 3380.5 USD per ounce, down 0.03% [2]. Group 2: Influential Factors - Federal Reserve Policy Expectations: There is significant market divergence regarding the likelihood and extent of a potential rate cut in September. The CME FedWatch tool indicates a high probability of a 25 basis point cut, but the unexpected rise in July PPI has cooled rate cut expectations. Investors are focused on Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole conference, which could either strengthen the dollar and pressure gold if hawkish, or allow for a rebound in gold if dovish [3]. - Geopolitical Situation: Ongoing negotiations between the US and Russia have not reached an agreement, with attention on the Russia-Ukraine talks. Trump's positive signals for ending the conflict may weaken gold's safe-haven demand if peace talks progress, but uncertainty regarding Putin's willingness to agree maintains support for gold [3]. - US Dollar Performance: The dollar's strong performance has negatively impacted gold prices, as a rising dollar index makes gold more expensive for holders of other currencies, thus suppressing demand [3]. Group 3: Price Outlook - Gold prices are currently in a sensitive range with mixed factors at play. The Federal Reserve's policy remains a key variable; a dovish signal from Powell could lead to a short-term rebound, while an emphasis on inflation may continue to pressure gold. Geopolitical uncertainties persist, with positive developments in negotiations potentially reducing gold's appeal, while adverse developments could boost it. The dollar's performance will continue to influence gold prices. Overall, gold is expected to maintain a range-bound movement in the short term, with critical levels such as the 100-day moving average being closely monitored for potential breakout or breakdown [4].
