Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote, has sent us her thoughts on gold.
Renewed appetite for gold despite elevated long-term US yields is striking and sends a clear message: investors are moving back to the precious metal as:
A hedge against unclear US fiscal plans and the lack of conviction in the US administration’s capacity to rein in exploding debt when military expenses are adding to already heavy bills.
A hedge against inflation, amid questions over the Fed’s willingness, or ability (!), to fight inflation independently.
A hedge against a potential rout across global risk assets on worries about high valuations, massive AI spending and the growing financing web around the companies involved in building the AI ecosystem – the circularity.
The question is: will gold gather enough momentum to return sustainably above the $5,000 mark?
Possibly, yes. The broad de-dollarization trade that’s quietly building in the background, justified by global institutions’ efforts to diversify away from US Treasuries and toward gold, remains supportive of gold in the longer run. In the shorter run, overbought conditions could lead to downside corrections, giving dip-buying opportunities to long-term bulls.
