Gold prices rose slightly on Thursday, helped by a weaker US dollar and concerns about a recession due to the tariff war. Meanwhile, investors are awaiting important inflation data that could shed light on the direction of US monetary policy.

The US dollar fell to its lowest level since early November. As the dollar weakens, gold becomes cheaper for holders of other currencies.

'Gold prices are likely to remain supported amid market uncertainty, which is boosting demand for the safe-haven asset. However, any positive developments in the Russia-Ukraine talks could reduce risk premiums,' said Vawda, market analyst at MarketPulse at OANDA.

Tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump on major trading partners have caused major volatility in global markets and raised concerns about economic growth. Gold is often seen as a hedge against uncertainty and tends to appreciate in a low-interest-rate environment because it is a non-yielding asset.

Markets are also looking ahead to the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) on Wednesday and the producer price index (PPI) on Thursday. The CPI is expected to rise 0.3% in February, according to a Reuters poll. Vawda added that unless the data deviates significantly from expectations, the impact on gold prices could be short-lived.

Traders are now expecting the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in June. 'Gold prices are already at very high levels due to the strong gains since the start of the year, which limits further upside potential,' Commerzbank said.

Alongside gold, spot silver also rose 1.3% to $32.53. Platinum rose 1.7% to $973.44, while palladium rose 0.2% to $944.70. Bank of America said lingering concerns about the trade dispute could keep platinum-based commodities (PGMs) stuck in the U.S. longer.

Gold Price Forecast

Mr. Milling-Stanley, chief strategist at State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), forecasts a 50% chance of gold prices ranging from $2,600 to $2,900 an ounce in 2025 and a 30% chance of hitting $3,100 an ounce. He stressed that global instability has always been a factor that drives gold prices higher.

Chantelle Schieven, an expert from Capitalight Research, gave a more optimistic forecast, with prices possibly reaching $3,200/ounce.

She said central banks continue to buy gold to diversify their foreign exchange reserves and reduce their dependence on the US dollar. President Trump’s trade policies in particular are believed to be a factor driving this trend.

Despite the possibility of short-term corrections, many experts remain optimistic about gold's medium- to long-term upward momentum. Kelvin Wong, an expert at Oanda, predicts the upward trend will continue, with the current important support level at $2,716/ounce.

Some other analysts believe that if gold prices surpass $2,950 an ounce, it could continue to rise to $3,180 an ounce.

Gold investors need to keep an eye on the sentiment in the US stock market. If US stocks continue to weaken, this could impact global financial leverage and affect gold prices.

According to gold expert Tran Duy Phuong, investors should not buy physical gold at this time. Gold prices are forecast to adjust sharply below $2,800/ounce, and may even fall to $2,727/ounce. He recommends waiting until the end of March or when gold prices decline further before considering buying.
