More →Capital Economics: Gold may come under pressure again this year.
According to a report from Bijie.com, Hamad Hussain, climate and commodities economist at Capital Economics, judged on October 16 that gold prices may gradually decline over the remainder of the year. He listed two reasons: the Federal Reserve will continue raising interest rates, and market concerns that the AI boom is ending will ultimately prove to be only temporary. This means that his judgment on gold prices involves both interest rates and the outlook for the AI boom. Bart Melek, global head of commodity strategy at TD Securities, said that gold remains within a range and is leaning toward the lower edge of the support area, mainly because there is still great uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's next move.
