International gold prices rose over 1% on Monday, benefiting from a weaker dollar and increased safe-haven demand after Moody's downgraded the US government credit rating. Gold reversed the previous day's losses, currently around $3240 per ounce.
【Technical Analysis】
Gold exhibited a strong rebound near the trend line, with buyers pushing the price above key resistance at $3260. Sellers may intervene, expecting a pullback towards the trend line, while buyers aim for a break above $3260 to continue the upward momentum.
【Market Sentiment and Economic Background】
The downgrade of the US credit rating has intensified concerns about the country's financial health, boosting safe-haven demand. The dollar's weakness further supports gold, while geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties add to the favorable conditions for gold.
【Analyst Opinions】
Carlo Alberto De Casa from Swiss Bank emphasizes increased attractiveness of safe-haven assets due to growing concerns about the US economic outlook. Analysts, including those from Goldman Sachs, anticipate gold reaching $3,700 by year's end, driven by long-term structural factors such as diversification away from dollar-denominated assets.
