Why Gold Prices Are Rising
Gold gained momentum due to increased safe-haven demand.
Political tensions, especially US-EU conflicts over Greenland, have strengthened investors’ interest in gold.
US President Donald Trump’s calls for rate cuts have also created uncertainty.
Since gold doesn’t yield interest, it tends to perform better when interest rates are low.
Analysts expect the US Federal Reserve to maintain current rates, which continues to support gold prices.
Outlook for Gold Investors
Experts believe that gold prices may remain range-bound in the short term, consolidating recent gains.
However, the long-term trend is bullish, supported by geopolitical tensions and safe-haven demand.
Investors are advised to watch both domestic and international gold trends before making buying decisions.
