Update gold price today October 2, 2024

World gold prices remain at record levels, purchasing power remains strong as usual.

The precious metals market has maintained its purchasing power despite record high prices against global currencies. Gold continues to dominate the world currency markets, reaching record highs across the board. However, gold also continues to prove its value in the real world.

According to the World & Vietnam Newspaper , the international gold price traded on Kitco News , at 7:15 p.m. on October 1 ( Hanoi time), was at 2,653.80 - 2,654.80 USD/ounce , an increase of 18.8 USD/ounce compared to the previous trading session.

Gold markets remained under pressure but there was no sharp sell-off as US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled the pace of the world's largest economy 's monetary easing cycle. Powell struck a relatively positive tone, noting that "the US economy is in solid shape" and the Fed will be able to gradually ease monetary policy.

Gold has enjoyed a broad rally, hitting all-time highs against major currencies such as the euro, pound, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. The latest research from Incrementum shows that gold has gained around 25% this year against a basket of global currencies. Although gold has faced some resistance at its all-time high above $2,680 an ounce last week, many analysts expect the precious metal to have more upside potential as the Fed is currently leading the world's central banks in the global rate easing cycle.

Fed actively regulates, will gold price increase or decrease?

Making his first comments since cutting interest rates by 50 basis points, speaking at the National Association for Business Economics Annual Meeting in Nashville, Tenn., Fed Chairman Powell said, “The decision to reduce interest rates reflects growing confidence that economic growth is moderate and inflation is falling sustainably toward 2 percent.”

Going forward, if the economy continues to perform as expected, US economic policy will shift to a more neutral stance over time, he added. "But we are not on any pre-determined path. The risks are two-fold, and we will continue to make decisions at each meeting. When considering additional policy adjustments, we will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. If the economy slows more than we expect, then we could cut more quickly," Mr. Powell said.

According to the global market and economic research department of UOB Bank (Singapore), the Fed's interest rate cut has weakened the USD and the low interest rate environment is creating positive momentum for gold prices.

In this context, the overall demand of central banks for allocating reserves to gold has not diminished in the context of increasing geopolitical risks. Global central banks, especially those in emerging markets and Asia, continue to consider gold as an important reserve and are expected to continue increasing their long-term allocation to gold. Gold demand from China and India is likely to increase towards the end of the year.

Gold has strengthened its bullish momentum in the portfolio throughout Q3 2024. UOB raised its global gold price forecast to $2,700/ounce in Q4 2024 and $2,800/ounce in Q1 2025.

However, some other experts believe that gold prices are likely to correct lower in the coming period. Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank , said that physical gold demand may slow due to high prices. He predicted that investors will need time to adjust to the new prices before demand recovers.

Mark Leibovit, an analyst at VR Metals/Resource Letter , also believes that gold prices have peaked in the short term and will soon enter a period of stabilization with a price correction. He explained that although the market still has many factors supporting gold prices, the rapid increase in recent times needs time to adjust to a state of equilibrium.

Jim Wyckoff, senior analyst at Kitco , said that gold is currently overbought in the market. According to him, the precious metal will undergo a natural correction, easing the pressure from the recent overbought conditions.

Additionally, according to UOB, the main risk to UOB’s positive forecast is the possibility of an unexpected acceleration in inflation, forcing the Fed to scale back its expected rate cuts, which could lead to a resurgence in the US dollar and interest rates, which would be detrimental to gold prices.
