Global gold prices have recovered after hitting a two-week low. The main driver was the fall in US Treasury yields, which made the dollar less attractive. In this context, investors turned to gold, an asset that does not pay interest.
Additionally, the market's focus is on the upcoming meeting between the US President, the Ukrainian President and European leaders to discuss a peace deal with Russia.
Tim Waterer, market analyst at KCM Trade, said the gold rally was underpinned by strong buying pressure around the $3,330/ounce level, reflecting investor buying sentiment.
Gold prices were also supported by a decline in US bond yields, after a sharp rise last weekend. Investors are now cautiously awaiting the results of meetings at the White House this week, especially the meeting with the Ukrainian president.
Another important event being watched is the annual meeting of the US Federal Reserve in Jackson Hole, where many economists surveyed by Reuters expect the Fed to cut interest rates in September for the first time this year. Low interest rates are often a factor that boosts gold prices, as the precious metal is seen as a safe haven during economic uncertainty.
News, gold price forecast tomorrow August 19, 2025
The world gold price today, August 19, 2025, is forecast to have slight fluctuations, mainly around the current level. This price reflects the caution of investors before important economic events taking place this week, especially information from the US Federal Reserve (Fed).
According to experts on Wall Street, most opinions believe that gold prices will not have big changes. Up to 8 out of 10 experts said that gold prices will go sideways. This shows that they are waiting for clearer signals from the Fed on interest rate policy.
The reason for this caution is that the market has almost “priced in” a rate cut by the Fed in September. Adrian Day, an asset manager, explained that for gold prices to rise sharply, further policy easing is needed.
However, there are more optimistic opinions. According to a survey of individual investors, more than half of them (63%) believe that gold prices will increase. This may indicate their long-term confidence in gold, despite short-term fluctuations.
In short, in the current context, gold prices are not expected to have many major fluctuations. Investors and consumers should closely monitor economic information from the US, especially signals from the Fed, to make appropriate decisions.
