Gold hit new highs in February, supported by a weaker US dollar and extending its y-t-d gains to 9%. Rising inflation expectations, lower rates, and continued geoeconomic uncertainty are playing in gold’s favour.
Gold punched through all-time-highs at the end of January with tariff fears, a weaker dollar and softer bond yields all contributing. Chinese gold market activity stayed true to its typical seasonal January strength and analysis suggests positive follow-through into February.
The start of November saw gold pressured by higher opportunity costs and a Republican clean sweep. Stronger bond yields and US dollar, risk-on in equities, a boost to cryptocurrencies and quelling of geopolitical risk might see a near-term retracement in gold.
Gold posted a 3.6% gain in August driven by lower rates and a weaker US dollar. Mixed data releases have made the direction of global economy less certain and gold options indicate that investors may be hedging against a combination of more aggressive rate cuts and US election uncertainty.

Gold posted a third consecutive monthly gain in May, rising by 2% m/m to US$2,348/oz. Despite the more moderate gain compared to March and April, gold hit a new all-time high of US$2,427/oz mid-month before pulling back – likely reflecting some profit taking.
In April, we saw strong buying from China and central banks, which resulted in gold reaching intra-month highs before pulling back by month-end. Looking forward, stagflation risks are on the rise as growth looks fragile and inflation remains problematic.
