Modest decline in US gold price on profit booking
There was a modest decline in gold prices during the early European trading session on Friday. Following a sharp rally that saw the precious metal reach an all-time high of $3,358 per ounce, the price of gold has edged lower, largely attributed to profit-taking behavior by investors ahead of the long Easter weekend.
Despite this short-term dip, several underlying factors continue to reinforce gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset. Foremost among these is the growing uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy, particularly with regard to import tariffs proposed by President Donald Trump. Additionally, broader concerns about a potential recession and persistent geopolitical tensions add to investor unease, prompting many to maintain positions in historically secure assets like gold.
Meanwhile, the trajectory of U.S. monetary policy remains a key influence on gold prices. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has recently adopted a more hawkish tone, signaling diminished prospects for a rate cut in June. This shift suggests a tightening of monetary policy, which could strengthen the U.S. dollar and, in turn, place downward pressure on gold, which is priced in USD. Powell’s comments also underscore the challenging balance the Fed faces: while inflation remains elevated, economic growth appears to be softening—conditions that could give rise to a stag-flationary scenario.
