According to the World Gold Council, the decline in the price of gold in March was primarily driven by debt reduction in the financial markets and liquidity dynamics. This was compounded by rising bond yields and speculation regarding gold sales by central banks (Turkey). The fundamentals for the precious metal look strong, although risks regarding volatility remain. The price of gold rises when more gold is bought than sold. Now, pressure from a strong dollar also appears to be easing. ETF inflows into gold in early April also indicate that investors remain positive about gold.
Even though the topic of interest rate hikes came up briefly, it can also fade away just as quickly. If there is a slump in demand triggered by movements in the consumer price index, this strengthens the case for monetary easing. If oil prices remain very high for an extended period, this would likely lead to further deleveraging across various asset classes (stock sales) and possibly to further mobilization of gold. Liquidity needs could therefore weigh on the gold price in the short term.
However, investors should focus on the bigger, positive picture. Year-over-year, the gold price is still up. Overall, there are signs of stabilization in the gold price. The precious metal should therefore resume its positive trend, even though it has lost value against all major currencies. The strong demand for gold from Asia is encouraging, and potential interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve will support the gold price. For example, Deutsche Bank currently forecasts a gold price between $5,300 and $5,800 for 2026.
