(PresseBox) - There is still no resolution to the conflict between the U.S., Iran, and Israel. Consequently, the gold price reacts nervously to every piece of news.

It is generally expected that both the Fed and the ECB will leave interest rates unchanged. Higher energy prices are certainly exacerbating stagflation risks, so interest rates will likely remain where they are for the time being. The same applies to the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan. Regarding market sentiment, it is evident that consumer confidence is waning and the war continues to create uncertainty. Here in Germany, the desire to spend is dwindling, and consumer sentiment is at its lowest level since February 2023.
However, the propensity to save remains high here. According to the ifo Index, sentiment in the German economy is now also at its lowest level since the pandemic. Interest rate expectations are certainly a significant factor in the development of the gold price. Should progress be made between the U.S. and Iran, this should also give the gold price another boost. Since the beginning of the year, the gold price has, after all, posted a return of eight percent so far.
Given the current environment, the World Gold Council speaks of “potential for a prolonged but healthy consolidation phase within a long-term uptrend.” The price of the precious metal has been trending sideways for days. For technical analysts, the fact that the gold price was able to overcome the hurdles at $4,381 and $4,642, and at $4,840 per troy ounce in early April, is a sign that the long-term uptrend remains intact. Gold will therefore continue to be in the spotlight for investors, as will the stocks of gold companies and royalty companies.
