International gold price

On the world gold market, spot gold price in the US increased by 15.2 USD/ounce to 1,942.4 USD/ounce. Gold futures for delivery in April 2022 on the Comex New York exchange increased by $34 to $1,943.2 per ounce

At the end of the meeting on March 16, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) announced that it would raise interest rates by 0.25 percentage points, to about 0.25-0.5% and also announced a plan on the the next interest rate hike.

The price of gold is very sensitive to rising US interest rates. This increases the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold. Higher interest rates, which are aimed at curbing inflation, also reduce gold’s appeal as an inflation hedge.

Geopolitical tensions in Ukraine positive impact on gold price. The continuation of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine has also helped investor sentiment, said Phil Blancato, managing director of Ladenburg Thalmann Asset Management in New York.

Investors are also betting on a rate hike by the European Central Bank and a combined increase of 50 basis points this year.

Gold price forecast

Investors see the Fed’s decision to raise interest rates as an obstacle for gold in the short-term, as rising inflation in Europe and the US continues to support demand for the precious metal.

Gold’s uptrend will depend on oil price movements. If the market sees another spike in oil prices, gold prices could break out and break through to all-time highs.

According to Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao, spot gold prices could bounce back to the range of $1,941 to $1,960 an ounce.
