GOLD can be a defensive asset, as geopolitical risks still high
Caught in the twin grip of elevated US yields and a stronger USD, Gold may be on the defensive over the near term unless geopolitical risks still escalate.
Escalating geopolitical and trade risks are playing an increasingly supportive role in Gold prices, engineering rallies that are likely to stay high in 2024.
Gold Price Clinging to Highs Under $2'000. The bias remains bullish despite minor retreats.
A new higher high may activate further growth. Only a valid breakdown below the pivot point opens the door for a corrective phase.

Just as $2'000 Milestone has been taken at the end of calendar month (November), Gold prices quickly hit a record high on Monday as investors prepare for potential interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve in 2024.
The NYMEX Gold Continuous Contract peaked at $2,152.30 per ounce on Monday, before paring gains to around $2,087.
Gold prices are appr. 10-15% year to date.
The recent surge has been supercharged by increasing expectations among investors that the Federal Reserve is not only done with its interest rate hiking regime, but that it could cut interest rates as soon as the first quarter of 2024.
The CME Fed Watch Tool currently projects that the Fed will institute its first rate cut at its FOMC meeting in March with next year's cuts totaling 125 basis points.
Some economists expect even more cuts. ING forecasts 150 basis points in 2024 and a further 100 basis points of rate cuts in 2025. If those predictions prove correct, gold prices might not be done rising.
That's because alternative like cash will be a lot less appealing to investors as interest rates start to fall. Gold prices also tend to rise when the Federal Reserve is in easing mode, whether it's cutting interest rates or increasing its balance sheet, on fears of potential inflation as well as the long-term effects that easing could have on the stability of the US dollar and economy.
