The price of gold (XAU/USD) is declining on Monday to a level of 3,333 USD, as the American markets are closed due to the observance of Memorial Day. A correction occurred in response to former US President Donald Trump’s statement on social network Truth Social about delaying the introduction of 50% tariffs against the European Union until July 9th. This decision was made after a telephone conversation between Trump and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen (Ursula von der Leyen) on Sunday, and it likely gives Europe time to conclude a trade deal with the Trump administration.
Despite the improvement in market sentiments, the gold rally is not yet over. The easing of trade rhetoric reduces interest in gold as a safe asset, but this interest remains due to growing concerns about the budget stability of the US. Investors are worried that Trump’s new tax legislation, which passed the House of Representatives last week and will soon be discussed in the Senate, might lead to an even greater increase in the US government deficit and debt.
Citigroup Inc.’s analysts have raised the three-month price forecast for gold to 3,500 USD per ounce, citing concerns over trade tariffs, high geopolitical risks, as well as a robust economic growth in China and India. The demand for gold is currently at its peak across all sectors, noted Citibank analysts in their client note, according to Bloomberg.
