Key Indicator Emerges for Gold in the Second Half of the Year: World Gold Council Warns of Potential Sell-Off if Price Persists Below $4,000

Deep News07-01 21:55

On the 1st, the World Gold Council released its Global Gold Market Mid-Year Outlook for 2026.

The report indicates that the gold price has fallen 7% year-to-date, with its average volatility rising to 30%.

Despite this period of correction, gold remains one of the top-performing assets over the past 12 months.

The report notes that the majority of the gold price pullbacks occurred during US trading hours, while price recoveries were generally observed during Asian trading sessions.

This further highlights the increasingly significant role of Asian investors in influencing the direction of gold prices.

Furthermore, if the gold price remains persistently below $4,000 per ounce, it could potentially trigger further selling pressure.

Can the gold price regain its upward momentum? The report suggests that a renewed price increase is possible if factors such as a deterioration in the economic or geopolitical environment, a reversal in interest rate expectations, or an increase in gold allocations by long-term investors materialize.

However, only a strong and clear signal could drive the price to reach the $5,000 per ounce level.
