    Gold close to reaching $3000

    It appears that the Federal Reserve is on hold when it comes to moving interest rates until midyear, said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals. But “most of the other major central banks remain in easing mode, providing an additional tailwind for gold.” Ongoing trade and geopolitical uncertainty suggest upside potential to the psychologically important $3,000 level, he said.

    Gold price predictions

    Gold prices are expected to continue being volatile in the near future on the back of uncertainties regarding US President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, the approaching July 9 deadline, possible trade deals, and the fresh threat of additional 10% tariffs on BRICS countries that align with ‘anti-American policies’.

    Gold eases, Investors wait for US inflation data

    Gold eased on Wednesday as the dollar ticked up, while investors awaited U.S. inflation data to gauge the Federal Reserve’s rate cut path amid trade tensions and economic slowdown fears and market focussed on news of a potential Ukraine-Russia ceasefire.

    Spot gold fell 0.2% to $2,908.93 an ounce as of 0720 GMT, while U.S. gold futures lost 0.2% to $2,908.93.

    “Gold is operating in ‘consolidation mode’ ahead of the next batch of U.S. inflation data,” KCM Trade chief market analyst Tim Waterer said.

    “I expect gold to remain a favoured asset whilst investors are concerned about tariff wars and growth slowdowns. So, the bias for gold remains to the upside due to ongoing tariff dramas,” Waterer said.

    Spot silver shed 0.7% to $32.70 an ounce, platinum rose 0.7% to $981.29 and palladium slipped 0.8% to $938.00.

    Gold Holds Near Record, Silver rallied

    Silver climbed as much as 3.1% to exceed $33 an ounce, while gold headed for a seventh weekly gain — the longest run since August 2020.

    The president has already imposed 10% levies on Chinese goods and plans to slap 25% duties on all US steel and aluminum imports next month.

    Spot silver rose 2.9% to $33.284 an ounce by 1:20 p.m. in London, taking this week’s gains to 4.6%. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell 0.2%. Gold, platinum and palladium were little changed.

    Copper and Aluminum drop

    Base metal prices plunged early Friday, with three-month benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange recently -3.7% at $8,985.50/metric ton and three-month aluminum  -1.4% at $2,422.50/ton, as President Trump’s worse than expected tariffs trigger global growth slowdown fears, sparking a selloff in industrial metals and mining equities.

    Copper and aluminum have dropped 8.7% and 7.7%, respectively, so far this week, as the tariffs drag down demand forecasts

    Trump hit China with a 34% “reciprocal” tariff on top of existing duties, and China announced Friday that it will likewise impose 34% tariffs on all U.S. goods starting April 10.

    “While we remain structurally bullish copper in the long run, weaker global GDP and copper demand growth risk delaying the deficit we expect to see in the market this year,” Goldman Sachs wrote.

    Gold hasn’t moved much, down .01%

    Spot gold was down 0.1% at $2,913.79 an ounce as of 10:04 a.m. EST (1504 GMT). U.S. gold futures rose 0.1% to $2,923.70.

    “There’s still buying interest out there now … there’s going to be some measure of caution ahead of Friday’s (payrolls data), but the underlying trend remains favorable,” said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals. 

    “If the number comes out really bad, I would imagine gold sells off. If it comes out neutral, I don’t think that’s going to move the needle too much. But if it comes out bullish, then gold takes off and we get pretty quick to $3,000, if not higher than that,” said Daniel Pavilonis, senior market strategist at RJO Futures.

    Spot silver advanced 1.2% to $32.36 an ounce and palladium fell 0.4% to $938.22. Platinum gained 0.5% to $965.45.
