The price of gold has surged toward the $2,000 threshold in response to escalating geopolitical risks. Analysts at TD Securities have conducted a comprehensive analysis of the outlook for the precious metal in light of recent developments.
Federal Reserve Expected to Adopt a Less Restrictive Stance
Assuming that the ongoing conflict does not expand into key oil-producing regions, TD Securities anticipates that the Federal Reserve’s “higher-for-longer” narrative is poised to lead to a gradual unwinding of the risk premium that has been associated with gold over the next few weeks.
TD Securities predicts a sustained rise for gold into the $2,100 territory as several factors come into play. Firstly, the Federal Reserve is expected to pivot toward a less restrictive stance, which is likely to bolster the appeal of gold as an investment. Additionally, the official sector’s continued interest in buying gold, along with a potential weakening of the U.S. dollar, is expected to further support the upward trajectory of the yellow metal. These elements combined create a favorable environment for gold to extend its gains in the near future.
