Gold Price Forecast

World gold prices fell slightly despite the downward trend of the USD index. Recorded at 6:15 p.m. on September 17, the US Dollar Index, which measures the fluctuations of the greenback against 6 major currencies, was at 100.365 points (down 0.07%).

World gold prices fell but are still anchored at a very high level. Experts say all attention is focused on the two-day policy meeting of the US Federal Reserve (FED) , ending on September 18. The market is currently predicting a 69% chance that the FED will cut interest rates by 0.5 percentage points, compared to 43% on September 13.

Mark Leibovit, an expert at VR Metals/Resource Letter, said that interest rate cuts are an important catalyst for the gold market. He said that gold prices will continue to increase strongly during the Fed's policy meeting.

However, experts say gold could be at risk as the market is over-expecting the Fed to cut interest rates by 50 basis points, which could turn investors away from gold. Currently, the odds of the Fed cutting interest rates by 25 basis points are falling, to only 59% compared to more than 70% last week.

Gold prices could fall temporarily even if the Fed cuts interest rates as expected, said market analyst Nicholas Frappell at ABC Refinery, because some of the factors supporting gold prices could ease as expectations are met and investors could reduce their gold purchases.

Colin Cieszynski, market strategist at SIA Wealth Management, said that if the decline was 25 basis points, it would still help the USD rise again, which would definitely hurt gold.

Sharing the same view with Colin Cieszynski, market analyst Everett Millman of Gainesville Coins also said that the scenario of the FED cutting 25 basis points could disappoint many investors, causing gold prices to fall after the policy meeting on September 18.
