Fundamental Analysis

The fundamental outlook for 2026 remains structurally bullish, though currently balanced by specific US policy shifts.

• Monetary Policy: Lower-than-expected US inflation data in February has reignited hopes for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts later in 2026.
• Treasury Yields: A decline in US 10-year real yields from 1.98% to 1.72% has reduced the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, supporting the current price rebound.
• Central Bank Demand: While expected to ease slightly from 2025 records, central bank buying is projected to remain historically high at approximately 850 tonnes for 2026.
• Geopolitical Drivers: Continued instability in the Middle East and US-China trade tensions maintain gold's premium as a safe-haven asset.
• Bearish Risks: The nomination of Kevin Warsh as the potential next Fed Chair is viewed as a hawkish signal that could strengthen the US Dollar and put downward pressure on gold.
