Markets have been affected by the Federal Reserve's policy review after this week's meeting, with many investors skeptical about whether the US central bank will cut interest rates at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in September 2025.

Gold Price Forecast

According to the World Gold Council (WGC) Q2 Gold Demand Trends report, inflows into global gold ETFs and demand for gold bars and coins reached their highest levels in the first half of the year since 2013.

Factors such as geopolitical instability, unpredictable US trade policy and rising gold prices have prompted investors to seek gold as a safe haven asset. Central banks have also continued to add gold to their reserves.

Independent metals trader Tai Wong said that despite the pressure from the rising US dollar, gold is still at the bottom of its range and could attract buying interest again if it corrects further thanks to long-term supportive factors such as instability, US public debt and the trend of de-dollarization.

Kelvin Wong, senior market analyst at OANDA, said that if gold prices break above $3,350 an ounce this weekend, it could provide a fresh boost to the precious metal, at least in the short term.

According to Mr. Wong, this scenario is of particular interest as the market awaits important data on inflation and the labor market to be released in the US. These data will play a key role in shaping the gold price trend in the coming time.
