After recording losses for two consecutive days, gold has found support near $2,600 and managed to recover early Tuesday. With investors refraining from taking large positions ahead of the New Year holiday, XAU/USD is holding onto its daily gains at around $2,620.
Regarding gold price volatility, speculators might be in for another successful year if global geopolitical tensions escalate under Trump’s administration, potentially driving investors toward this time-tested safe haven.
Additionally, Daan Struyven, a commodity strategist at Goldman Sachs, stated, “We expect gold prices to rise to $3,000 per ounce due to increased demand from central banks and a gradual, cyclical rise in ETF holdings, driven by the Fed’s rate cuts.”
