International gold prices have increased by 30 USD/ounce as analysts say gold investors should prepare mentally as gold prices are expected to continue to fluctuate within a strong range due to prolonged economic and geopolitical instability.
In addition, the factor supporting the strong increase in gold prices is also the news that the US has increased tariffs on aluminum and steel. Last weekend, during a tour of the US Steel factory in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania (USA), President Donald Trump announced that he would increase tariffs to protect American workers and the steel industry. The import tariffs on aluminum and steel into the US will increase from 25% to 50%, effective from June 4.
Forecasts suggest that the precious metal will continue to be confined within a range of $3,200 - $3,400 per ounce. Gold prices fell more than 2% last week, but still recorded a slight increase. However, analysts note that although gold still retains strong long-term fundamentals supporting the uptrend, short-term volatility is weakening the upside momentum. It is not surprising to see this volatility in gold, reflecting the chaos in US government policy.

The European Union (EU) has criticized US President Donald Trump's decision to double tariffs on steel imports. This move not only increases tensions in the transatlantic trade war but also makes the global economy more unstable. The EU affirmed its readiness to respond if a suitable trade agreement is not reached between the two sides.
The world USD price decreased slightly. The USD-Index reached 99.22 points, down 0.22 points compared to yesterday. The greenback traded at a low level as investors weighed the possibilities of trade tariffs, even as President Donald Trump faces court over this.
The world gold price fell sharply due to the increase of the USD and the market digesting the latest developments on tariffs. However, many analysts predict that the gold price will increase again. Specifically, in the Kitco News survey on the gold price trend next week, which attracted the participation of 14 Wall Street analysts, 6 people, accounting for 43%, said that the gold price will increase. The remaining 4 people, corresponding to 29%, said that the precious metal will move sideways and 4 people predicted that the gold will turn down.
Meanwhile, the bullish trend was also chosen by many individual investors in the Main Street survey. A total of 290 individual investors participated in the survey, of which 163 people, or 65%, predicted that gold would rise. However, 70 people, or 24%, thought that gold would continue to fall, and the remaining 57 investors, or 20%, said that the precious metal would move sideways.
