The gold market came under pressure at the end of the week: quotations fell below the $4,600 per ounce mark, while April COMEX futures closed near $4,574.90. Pressure on the metal intensified due to firmer interest rate expectations, a stronger U.S. dollar, and rising yields on U.S. Treasury bonds.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the current decline appears to be more of a correction after strong growth than a reversal of the broader long-term trend. According to the World Gold Council, total gold demand in 2025 exceeded 5,000 tonnes for the first time, while the price reached new all-time highs 53 times during the year. RBC also noted that after rising by more than 50\u201360%, the market naturally entered a correction phase, and such movements are not unusual for gold.<\/p>\n
Additional arguments in favor of a more balanced assessment also come from analysts\u2019 comments. Yardeni Research maintains a bullish view on gold, emphasizing that the recent weakness may be linked to profit-taking after a rapid rally. The key supportive factors still include central bank demand, investor interest in China, the high U.S. public debt burden, inflation risks, and persistent geopolitical tensions.<\/p>\n
Thus, the current pullback in gold does not yet appear to be a signal for long-term panic. Rather, the market seems to be undergoing a reassessment phase after rapid growth, while still retaining fundamental grounds for stabilization and a possible return to an upward trajectory. This conclusion is based on the combined assessment of current market data and analysts\u2019 estimates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
