Globally, gold was trading at $2,714.27 per ounce, down 0.24 per cent.
Fadi Al Kurdi, founder and CEO of FFA Kings, said the precious metal continues to find support from its safe-haven appeal amid renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, coupled with growing expectations of a US rate cut.
“The November nonfarm payrolls data, which showed a notable rise, bolstered the view that the Federal Reserve remains on track for interest rate cuts this month. Consequently, US Treasury bond yields remain subdued, creating a supportive environment for gold prices,” said Al Kurdi.
“Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have re-emerged as a significant factor, particularly following recent developments in Syria, reinforcing safe-haven demand for gold. Any further regional developments could continue to strengthen gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset,” he said, adding that China's central bank resumed gold purchases for its reserves in November, ending a six-month pause and providing additional support for the yellow metal.
“This comes amid a broader trend of strong central bank demand for gold over the past two years. The combination of robust central bank buying, anticipated monetary policy easing, and ongoing geopolitical tensions suggests a well-supported outlook for gold prices in the near term,” he added.
