Gold prices continue to surge higher
“Gold prices this week continued to surge northwards, as prices are nearing the $2000/ounce mark. Bullion this week gained nearly 4 percent given the rising uncertainty in the global markets due to the banking crisis. For the third week in a row, gold has increased in price as demand for safe-haven assets surged due to the US banking crisis. Prices continued to head higher as the appeal of non-yielding gold increased because of predictions of less aggressive Federal Reserve rate increases following the failure of two significant US regional banks.
“Gold bullion prices in euros also rose to levels not seen since records were set last year, while gold prices in pounds reached a new high. The CPI, on the other hand, had a 6% increase in February, which was the smallest increase from the previous year since September 2021. The European Central Bank adhered to its goal to raise interest rates by 50 basis points in order to combat inflation. We expect gold to trade higher towards 60,150 levels, a break of which could prompt the price to move higher to 60,790 levels,” said Prathamesh Mallya, AVP- Research, Non-Agri Commodities, and Currencies, Angel One.
