Gold Prices Dip Amid Trade Tensions, Bullish Outlook Remains

The global gold price has slightly decreased, with spot gold dropping by $9.9 to $2,898.4 per ounce, while gold futures were last traded at $2,926.4 per ounce, down $7.9 from the previous early morning. This adjustment is primarily due to profit-taking pressure after gold reached record highs. However, investors remain optimistic amid rising global trade tensions, especially with the high tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. These tariff policies are expected to continue supporting gold prices in the near future.

Despite the short-term adjustment, gold continues to receive strong support from geopolitical instability and trade wars, and it may continue its upward trend until 2025. Meanwhile, investors are awaiting comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to analyze the possibility of interest rate cuts, which could boost gold prices again.

Additionally, strong buying activity from central banks and gold ETFs whenever prices drop also helps sustain the bullish trend of gold. Although gold is currently experiencing a slight decline, technical analysis suggests that this drop is temporary. With support at $2,860, gold may quickly recover and continue its upward trajectory towards the resistance level of $2,933. Investors could consider a SELL position around $2,933 and prepare for a BUY opportunity when gold returns to the support level.
