On the news front, CITIC Construction Investment's research report pointed out that since November, U.S. Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar index have significantly rebounded under the Trump trade, with expectations for interest rate cuts cooling. Coupled with severe overbought conditions technically, gold prices have corrected from high levels, briefly falling to around USD 2,500. In the medium term, with the U.S. economy and inflation slowing simultaneously, gold prices are still likely to remain in a high-level fluctuation mode. In the short term, gold prices around USD 2,400 could be considered for reallocation.
It is reported that at the end of October this year, international gold prices broke through the historical high of USD 2,800 per ounce. However, entering November, the trend of gold prices has intensified. In early November, international gold prices continued to adjust, falling nearly 9% from the historical peak. Industry insiders believe that the market's expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December have cooled, geopolitical risks in the Middle East have weakened, and the recent rebound of the U.S. dollar index have all posed negative impacts on international gold prices. Gold prices face adjustment pressure in the short term, but the medium to long-term trend remains bullish
