Recent data show that the U.S. economy is not ideal. The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy has also continued to be moderate, keeping the original interest rate level unchanged. The Fed will also reduce its GDP forecast for 2019 to 2.1%. After last year’s successive interest rate hikes, the US monetary policy has been markedly moderate this year.
This will lead to the inflow of market funds into other hedging assets. With the accumulation of worries about the U.S. recession, risk aversion has gradually risen, further strengthening the momentum of capital flows to the gold market.
In addition, there are many uncertainties in the situation of Britain’s exit from Europe. Recently, Britain’s anti-European marches have begun to increase, and the development of the de-European situation may further trigger political unrest. The fermentation of this fear has further enhanced the nature of gold hedging and attracted more hedging capital inflows. Therefore, weak global macroeconomic recovery, increased geopolitical uncertainty
and loose expectations of global monetary policy have provided substantial support for gold prices for some time to come.
