In late September, the global price of gold dropped to over 1,866 USD per ounce, marking a decrease of almost 100 USD or a loss of more than 5% in just one month. This decline stands as the second largest monthly drop witnessed this year.
The primary reason for this may be attributed to the current monetary policy implemented by the US Federal Reserve (Fed), which has set its reference interest rate at 5.25-5.5%, the highest it has been since 2001. Additionally, high inflation rates and a stronger US dollar compared to previous months have contributed to the decrease in gold prices.
This week will see several significant reports regarding production and services from both the United States and European Union being published. James Stanley, senior market strategist at Forex.com, predicts that gold prices could experience a sharp decline during the first week of October due to these reports. He believes that there is no immediate evidence suggesting any fluctuations in exchange rates or selling sentiment; however, he expects that further dismantling will cease following recent substantial drops in gold prices.
