Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD could retest recent highs following the US sentiment indicators – Commerzbank

Gold prices fell only briefly on the back of stronger-than-expected US inflation data. Economists at Commerzbank analyze the yellow metal’s outlook.

Gold stabilises just below record high

US economic data has been rather disappointing of late, which weighs against inflation risks in the medium term.

At the same time, Gold remains just below the record high it reached at the end of last week. However, given the recent rather asymmetric reaction to US data, i.e. strong rallies after weak economic data and only temporary setbacks after strong (inflation) data, a retest of the recent highs cannot be ruled out, for example following the US sentiment indicators due today.
