Gold prices continued to fall sharply in the first trading session of the week, hitting their lowest level in more than three weeks. But they then narrowed the decline thanks to safe-haven demand and strong buying activity from central banks. However, many experts remain optimistic about the long-term price outlook of gold.

Gold prices fell more than 1% at one point during the day, the lowest level since March 13. Meanwhile, gold futures in the US rose 0.5% to $3,051. Notably, gold fell more than 3% last Friday after US President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs on China, causing shockwaves in global markets.

In response to the US move, China increased tariffs by 34% on US goods and restricted exports of some rare earth metals. Mr. Yeap Jun Rong, strategist at IG, commented: "The market is confused because it is not clear whether the conflict will cool down or not, while many people think there is no quick solution."

Gold is traditionally seen as a safe haven asset, but this time the price of gold has fallen sharply. Experts say investors may be taking profits from gold to cover losses in other portfolios or meet margin calls. Recession fears have wiped out nearly $6 trillion in value from the US stock market.

However, the People's Bank of China continued to buy gold for its reserves in March – the fifth consecutive month. "Central banks still favor gold, which is supportive of the precious metal. The inflows could help gold maintain its long-term upward trend," said Tim Waterer, analyst at KCM Trade.

"As the market stabilizes, central bank demand will help balance gold prices, creating confidence for investors to return," said Ole Hansen from Saxo Bank.

While gold prices fell, silver prices rose 2% to $30.13 an ounce after hitting a seven-month low. Platinum and palladium prices also rose slightly to $926.09 and $919.50, respectively.

Gold price forecast

Kyle Rodda of Capital.com said the market is in a state of panic, leading to massive sell-offs. While the long-term outlook for gold remains positive, when fear spreads, the market can become uncontrollable.

Adrian Day, Chairman of Adrian Day Asset Management, said gold prices are likely to continue to fall in the short term and could fall below the $3,000/ounce mark in the coming days.

However, he still believes that the long-term trend is bullish, as the factors that have supported gold prices over the past two years remain intact. In particular, gold demand in North America continues to increase, which is the driving force for prices to recover strongly towards the end of the year.

Marc Chandler, managing director at Bannockburn Global Forex, also said the current sell-off may not be over. He noted that despite the dollar and interest rates falling, gold has been sold off along with stocks. In recent sessions, many individual investors appear to view gold as a risk asset rather than a haven.

Chandler warned that if gold breaks the $3,054/ounce level, it could continue to fall to the $3,030 and then $3,000 area. This will be a big psychological test for investors holding gold.

Gold has rallied so quickly in the first quarter that it's difficult to find clear support, said Everett Millman of Gainesville Coins.

He predicts that prices could fall to $2,900 or lower if the sell-off continues. This is a decisive stage for the upcoming trend of the gold market.
