World Gold Council Reports Potential 37% Gold Price Decline; Yen Strength May Provide Support
Gold prices may decline by about 37% from their January peak if they fall below USD 3,857 per ounce, with the next key support at USD 3,500, according to the World Gold Council. The recent coordinated US-Japan currency intervention has strengthened the yen, which could support gold alongside a weaker dollar. Gold has seen a 7.8% year-to-date decline amid changing US interest rate expectations and geopolitical tensions affecting inflation and oil prices, while investor positions in gold ETFs and COMEX have moderated.
