Tito Iakopa, commercial director at FlowCommunity, said investors and market participants were assessing potential changes in President-elect Donald Trump’s tariff plans.
“Despite rumours of a more moderate trade policy approach, Trump firmly rejected these claims, contributing to the continued uncertainty surrounding US trade policies. Additionally, the 10-year note yield remained elevated, which could pose headwinds for gold's appreciation,” he said.
Iakopa added that gold remains supported by various factors, including geopolitical tensions and robust central bank demand.
“Trump’s proposed tariffs and protectionist policies are likely to exacerbate inflationary pressures and disrupt global trade, further strengthening gold’s position as a safe-haven asset. These factors collectively contribute to gold’s strategic value amid ongoing economic uncertainty,” said the commercial director of FlowCommunity.
