Nitesh Shah / Geopolitical Risks, Gold 21 Aug 2019

Gold could rise to over US$1800/oz if geopolitical risks remain elevated

Nitesh Shah
Gold prices have moved very quickly in the past two months, gaining 14% in that short space of time. Gold’s gains have been consistent with the sudden drop in Treasury yields and rise in demand for safe haven assets. As we highlighted in The gold market reigns supreme, growing tensions between the US and China in the form of both a trade and a currency war have kept the market on edge, thus driving up the demand for safe haven assets.

The gold market reigns supreme

Aneeka Gupta
Gold prices are trading at a 6-year high as the US-China trade tensions intensify. The troika formed by the interplay amongst Trump, China and the US Federal Reserve is resulting in a negative feedback loop likely to keep gold prices elevated over the course of 2019. Rising economic uncertainty on global trade is reviving gold’s safe haven status and remains at the forefront of investors’ minds.
