Gold Price Outlook

"Gold's medium-term outlook remains constructive, supported by a combination of macro uncertainty, strong central-bank buying, and expectations of lower real interest rates. While gold has traditionally been viewed as a safe-haven asset, recent market behaviour shows it is also trading as a momentum asset, responding sharply to shifts in interest-rate expectations, the US dollar, and equity market volatility," Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operations Lead, VT Markets.

The sharp surge in the precious metal's price in the first week of January, a price correction was long awaited.

"With prices already near record highs, investors should be mindful of short-term corrections driven by profit-taking or temporary risk-on sentiment. For long-term investors, gold still makes sense as a portfolio hedge and diversifier, but a staggered or phased investment approach may be more prudent than aggressive lump-sum buying at current levels. Tactical investors may look to accumulate on pullbacks rather than chase rallies," added Ross Maxwell.
