The general trend of the gold price remains upward, and a first break of the trend will not occur without moving towards the support levels of $2100 and $2050 per ounce.
During last week’s trading sessions, the price of gold finally surpassed the $2200 resistance level for the first time.
Gains extended to reach the all-time high resistance level of $2222 per ounce for the yellow metal.
Clearly, this came after the Federal Reserve indicated that it would proceed with three interest rate cuts in 2024 despite rising inflation.
The recent rise in the gold price, which began in mid-February, is driven by long-term tailwinds including rising geopolitical risks and increased buying by global central banks. This month alone, the safe-haven metal has hit new record highs on five occasions. Its rapid rise, according to Bloomberg columnists, has surprised many seasoned market watchers, as there was no clear catalyst. What has been driving bullion prices in part is the expectation of a more dovish monetary policy in the United States, which the Federal Reserve has now confirmed.
Last week, US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell continued to highlight officials’ desire to see more evidence of falling prices, but “it remains likely in most people’s eyes that we will achieve that confidence and there will be interest rate cuts.”
According to analysts, what was issued by the US Central Bank is the green light for gold traders to return. Also, the US Federal Reserve said that they are currently tolerant of the inflation that we have witnessed, and that they are tolerant that the strength of the labor market will not be an obstacle.”
Furthermore, perhaps speculation about the timing of the Fed’s long-awaited pivot has provided the trigger for the recent gains, with data showing that traders boosted their net long positions in gold in the week ended March 5 by the most since 2019. Moreover, the yellow metal is expected to benefit further when US interest rates do fall, as bullion-backed ETFs are likely to increase their holdings, according to UBS Group.
On the geopolitical front, there are a number of risks that are boosting the appeal of gold as a safe haven: Russia appears to have gained the upper hand in its war in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues unabated, and has led to a redirection of global finance and shipping. Also, the US presidential election later this year could be of major importance to the markets. Chinese buying has helped to support prices as well. In addition to central bank policy, people are stocking up on coins, bullion, and jewelry to protect their wealth from the country’s years-long real estate slump and stock market losses.
The general trend of the gold price remains upward, and a first break of the trend will not occur without moving towards the support levels of $2100 and $2050 per ounce. Gold price gains around and above the resistance of $2200 have moved all technical indicators towards strong buying saturation levels. Therefore, caution and good monitoring are necessary when considering buying gold from those peaks. Furthermore, we expect a week of trading in narrow ranges for the gold price until the reaction of the markets and the US dollar price to the announcement of the preferred inflation reading of the US Federal Reserve.
Gold prices edged higher on Monday as renewed bets that the U.S. Federal Reserve would begin cutting interest rates in June and a softer dollar lifted bullion’s appeal.
Spot gold was up 0.1% at $2,166.39 per ounce, as of 0648 GMT. U.S. gold futures climbed 0.4% to $2,167.70 per ounce.
The dollar was down 0.1% against its rivals, making gold less expensive for other currency holders.
“The environment is still looking quite healthy for the precious metal markets,” said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.
“Markets are still looking forward to impending rate cuts from the Fed. Looks like June is being the most probable time when they are sort of expected to pull the trigger on that first rate cut.”
Gold prices rose to an all-time high on Thursday after Fed policymakers indicated they still expected to reduce interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point by the end of 2024 despite recent high inflation readings.
Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding bullion.
Traders are now pricing in a 74% probability that the Fed will begin cutting rates in June, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool.
Investors are now awaiting U.S. core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index data due on Friday to see if that could alter the Fed’s projections of three rate cuts for this year.
The index was seen rising 0.3% in February, which would keep the annual pace at 2.8%. Many markets are closed on Friday for Good Friday when the PCE data is due for release, so the full reaction is expected to be seen next week.
Spot gold may break support at $2,161 per ounce, and fall into a $2,147-$2,152 range, according to Reuters’ technical analyst Wang Tao.
Spot silver eased 0.1% to $24.62 per ounce, platinum rose 0.2% to $896.23 and palladium climbed 0.8% to $993.37.

Canada’s Rachel Homan defeated Switzerland’s Silvana Tirinzoni 7-5 on Sunday to win gold at the world women’s curling championship.
Homan made a split to score three points in the ninth end. The Swiss didn’t have a shot for a game-tying deuce in the 10th end and conceded before throwing their final stone.
The win ended Canada’s six-year title drought at this event. It was Homan’s first world crown since taking gold at the 2017 playdowns in Beijing.
Jennifer Jones was the last Canadian to win world gold, finishing first in 2018 in North Bay, Ont.
Homan and her team of third Tracy Fleury, second Emma Miskew and lead Sarah Wilkes picked up where they left off after running the table at the national championship last month.
Canada was 11-1 in round-robin play at Centre 200 and beat South Korea’s Eunji Gim in the semifinal.
That set up the top-ranked Ottawa-based rink for a showdown with the second-ranked Tirinzoni, who had won four straight world titles.
Homan’s side entered with confidence after winning all four head-to-head meetings against Tirinzoni this season. The Canadian also ended Tirinzoni’s 42-game win streak at this competition earlier in the week.
As first seed, Canada started with hammer but the Swiss forced Homan to draw for one in the opening end.
The host team made some small mistakes in the early going.
Miskew hit and rolled out in the second end and Homan’s freeze attempt was slightly off. That allowed Swiss fourth Alina Paetz to make a soft hit for two.
Canada was forced again in the third end and Homan’s final stone undercurled in the fourth to set up a Swiss hit for two.
Paetz was heavy on back-to-back throws in the fifth end to allow Canada to pull even with a pair of its own.
Two blanks preceded an eighth end with rocks in play. Fleury made a hit that rolled frozen on the button and Tirinzoni couldn’t blast out the Canadian stones.
Homan made a hit to sit four and Paetz was forced to draw for one.
In the critical ninth end, Homan made two great shots that turned the game.
Her rocket double-takeout left Canada sitting three. Paetz made a double-takeout that left Canada as shot stone with two Swiss stones on the back of the 12-foot ring.

Homan tapped her own rock near the top of the house and both stones rolled in to score three, thrilling the near-sellout crowd of 4,373.
The win improved Homan’s season record to 62-6. She improved to 24-8 in career head-to-head matchups against Tirinzoni.
Earlier, Gim defeated Italy’s Stefania Constantini 6-3 to win the bronze medal.
Homan and Miskew were named competition all-stars at their respective positions. Sweden’s Sara McManus took the nod at third and Swiss lead Carole Howald was named top lead.
Overall attendance at the nine-day event was 45,602. Uijeongbu, South Korea will host next year’s world women’s championship.
The world men’s curling championship begins Saturday in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L., will skip the Canadian team.

In this article, we discuss the 13 most profitable gold stocks to invest in. To skip the detailed analysis of the industry, go directly to the 5 Most Profitable Gold Stocks To Invest In.
The close of 2023 saw a surge in gold prices driven by the widespread belief that the precious metal serves as a hedge against inflation, prompting investors to seek refuge amid economic uncertainty. That same year, gold prices experienced a notable surge of over 13%, coinciding with a 3% increase in demand for the yellow metal compared to the previous year, reaching 4,899 metric tons. This data, sourced from the World Gold Council, encompasses purchases made by central banks as well as demand from various sectors including industries, jewelry makers, and investors. The SVB crash and conflicts in the Middle East have further heightened demand for the precious metal throughout the year, consequently leading gold stocks to achieve significant gains. According to a Bloomberg report from earlier in 2023, data from Invesco indicated a notable trend of global sovereign wealth funds and investors increasing their gold holdings. The insights from the report were based on a survey encompassing 85 sovereign wealth funds and 57 central banks, managing assets totaling approximately $21 trillion.
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that mirror the price of gold also recorded strong performances. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (NYSE:GLD) saw a gain of 6.06% year-to-date, while the iShares Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:IAU) climbed 4.6%. Many analysts describe the investment environment supporting gold’s recent performance as a Goldilocks scenario, characterized by “just right” conditions. Bill Baruch, president of commodities brokerage firm Blue Line Futures, suggesting that gold’s movement signals the beginning of a “multi-year bull market in metals.” This statement is supported by VanEck’s report that illustrated the direct correlation between gold prices and gold stocks.
“Gold stocks are supposed to outperform the metal when gold’s price is rising. Their leverage to gold justifies outperformance. For any given move in the price of gold, operating cash flow generated by these companies increases (or decreases) by a much greater percentage. Take Alamos (8.06% of Fund net assets), for example. The company estimates that a 5% increase in the price of gold (about a+$100/oz move), would translate into an increase of almost 30% in their free cash flow in 2024. “
With that in mind, today we will explore some of the most profitable gold stocks that investors should take note of, with prominent choices including Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:FCX), Barrick Gold Corp (NYSE:GOLD), and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM).
