Gold Prices Dip Below $4,000 Amid Market Selloff; Recovery Supported by Chinese Demand
Gold prices recently fell below $4,000 an ounce, reaching a three-month low amid broader market selloffs and expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes. Amundi SA anticipates a recovery to around $4,500, citing light trader positions and supportive long-term demand, including central bank purchases. Meanwhile, Chinese households have increased physical gold buying through accumulation plans and contracts on the Shanghai Gold Exchange, seeking a safe haven amid domestic equity declines and low bond yields, helping stabilize prices despite global uncertainties.
