Summary:
Gold jumped 6.59% last week, closing at $3,237/oz and reaching an all-time high of $3,245/oz, driven by:


  • US-China trade war escalates
  • Global recession fears
  • USD depreciates
  • Growing expectations of interest rate cuts from the Fed

Investor movements:
Capital flows out of stocks and cryptocurrencies, into safe-haven assets such as Gold and JPY, with strong support from weakening U.S. economic indicators and unstable geopolitical conditions.





  • Wall Street analysts: 94% bullish on gold next week (Kitco survey)
  • Retail traders: 69% expect further price increases




  • Wednesday: Fed Chair Powell's speech and the BoC's interest rate decision
  • Thursday: ECB policy meeting + US data (unemployment claims, housing, Philly Fed)
  • Ongoing: U.S.-China tariff war (145% vs. 125%)




  • Scenario 1 (Likely): Decline to $3,165–$3,170 → rebound to $3,300
  • Scenario 2: Deeper decline to $3,117–$3,125 → recovery
