What to expect next?

Gold climbed to the highest in more than three months on Monday as the US Treasury’s bold intervention in the bond market revived concerns about fiscal policy and its impact on the dollar.

In a weekly market report, the WGS said that the US economic releases will be closely watched as they could shift expectations for the Fed.

"With July PCE inflation and Q2 GDP both expected to surprise to the upside, according to consensus Bloomberg estimates, markets may further price in near-term policy tightening. However, persistent fiscal policy risks could continue to cushion gold against the headwind of higher yields. Attention will also turn to Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech on Friday for signals on his reform agenda. A hawkish message focused on restoring price stability could push yields higher still, complicating the Treasury Department’s efforts to cap borrowing costs," WGC said.

"The US ramped up sanctions on Iran including broader economic isolation. But this risks Iran’s retaliation across the Gulf area, potentially lifting oil prices and adding to inflation volatility, which could complicate the Fed's near-term policy outlook," it added.

In a report, Tata Mutual Fund recently said that gold prices have witnessed a recovery in recent weeks, supported by softer US economic data and easing bond yields.

However, the broader macro environment remained influenced by evolving US monetary policy expectations and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. In the near term, expectations around interest rates, dollar movements and bond yields may continue to drive price volatility and keep gold prices range-bound.

"Despite these short-term fluctuations, we maintain a constructive medium-to-long-term outlook on gold. Continued central bank purchases, sustained investment demand and the increasing need for portfolio diversification remain structural supports for the asset class. Gold also continues to play an important role as a hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty and currency debasement risks. Investors may consider utilizing periods of market weakness to gradually build strategic long-term allocations to gold," Tata MF said.

On Silver, Tata MF said the near-term outlook remains influenced by the health of the global economy and industrial demand trends. Moderation in solar installations and easing supply tightness have reduced some of the immediate demand catalysts, which could lead to periods of consolidation and higher price volatility.

"Nevertheless, the long-term investment case for silver remains compelling. As both a precious metal and an industrial commodity, silver is well-positioned to benefit from increasing adoption across electronics, AI-related hardware, renewable energy infrastructure and solar applications," Tata MF said.
