Nitesh Shah / Geopolitical Risks 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.

ECB: A stitch in time saves nine

Aneeka Gupta
European markets are positioned for further accommodation at this week’s European Central Bank (ECB) meeting on 25th July. In our opinion, macroeconomic data has not changed meaningfully, in fact it has stabilised.  What’s changed is that the balance of recent ECB- policymakers commentary has tilted in favour of further stimulus sooner rather than later.

Gold above US$1400, where next?

Nitesh Shah
Gold has blasted through a key technical threshold at US$1400/oz, after breaching a stubborn resistance level of US$1350/oz last week. Gold’s rise has been aided by falling US Treasury yields, a depreciating US dollar and improving sentiment and flows. Risks are tipped to the upside, especially if geopolitical concerns remain as elevated as they are at present amid trade wars, currency wars and risk of military confrontation the Middle East. WisdomTree believes the metal is poised to rise further by Q2 2020. Find out more in our latest outlook.
