The world gold price is forecasted by investors to soon return to the price level of 2,000 USD/ounce despite the US Federal Reserve (Fed) raising interest rates by 25 percentage points on July 26.
However, analysts are more cautious, warning investors not to pour too much money into gold before the Fed decides to raise interest rates further.
James Stanley, market strategist at StoneX, predicts a sharp increase in gold prices, but then the price of gold could fall suddenly after the Fed makes a decision to raise interest rates.
James Stanley thinks that the price of gold can fall by $ 50 if the Fed shows a tough attitude immediately after raising interest rates

Comment:
Lusk said that gold could drop by $50 this week if the Fed remains hawkish right after the rate hike decision. However, in the long term, the Fed has very little impact on the price trend as some commodities cannot help but increase in price due to supply problems. Many goods are in short supply. For that reason, he advises to continue buying gold when the price drops.
Comment:
The Fed's monetary policy meeting (July 25-26) will be the most prominent event that dominates the gold market. Markets are almost certain the central bank will continue to raise interest rates by 25 basis points. Some analysts believe that the Fed's rate hike will support the dollar and put pressure on gold.

Comment:
“Any unexpected dovish signal, especially from the Fed, could positively support gold, with fresh opportunities to move towards the $2,000 mark,” Carlo Alberto De Casa, market analyst at Kinesis Money, said in a note.
