Dear Traders,
Today we will be looking at the factors that affect the gold, however, let’s focus on what we are expecting price to do next week. Gold traded in a range of 1920-1928 on friday indicating a low level of interest from buyers and same goes for sellers. In most cases, prices tends to fell more as we will sellers dominance on MONDAY. Once prices drops, it is very likely that it will reach the 1900 region.
Factors that affect GOLD prices:
First one is ‘USD as CURRENCY VALUE’: Gold is typically priced in US DOLLAR, so changes in the value of the dollar can affect gold prices. When the dollar is strong, gold is more expensive for buyers using other currencies, which can decrease the demand and lower the price. Likewise, when the dollar is weak, gold is cheaper for buyers using other currencies which can increase demand and raise prices.
Secondly, Geopolitical events can create uncertainty, leading investors to seek out "safe haven" investments like gold. This can increase demand and drive up prices. Especially, in counties like India where on festive season gold demand increases sharply which clearly out rank the supply.
