Gold Futures have declined, but due to safe-haven demand, an increase is still expected in the first trading week of this year. Futures fell by 0.4% to $2,657.70 per ounce, with the buying price rising by 0.2% compared to the previous period. Alex Kuptsikevich from FxPro noted that although the gains are somewhat moderate, the simultaneous rise of Gold and the USA dollar amid a stock market decline is characteristic of a safe-haven. Kuptsikevich stated that the outlook for Gold and the USA dollar relies on the macroeconomic situation, as USA President-elect Trump has indicated plans to impose tariffs on a series of commodities upon taking office. Kuptsikevich added that Global speculators may increase their purchases of Gold.
