Gold Market Trends: Recent Decline and Economic Factors

アップデート済
Gold prices experienced their second consecutive drop in the second quarter, marking the most significant decline in over two years. This decline, which began in August and extended into September, was exacerbated by the sharp decrease observed this week.

On the New York Comex futures market, the most active gold contract for December concluded trading at $1,864.60 per ounce on Friday, settling officially at $1,866.10, reflecting a 0.7% decrease or $12.50. This resulted in a 4% weekly drop, the largest since the nearly 6% decline recorded in the week ending June 11, 2021.

Throughout the third quarter, gold on the Comex market fell by approximately 3%, compensating for July's 4% increase. In the second quarter, future gold prices experienced a nearly 4% decrease.

Spot gold, closely monitored by traders, stabilized at $1,848.73, compared to the previous session's settlement at $1,864.56. A week earlier, spot gold was stable at $1,924.99, contrasting sharply with the end-of-June price of $1,919.57.

Notably, in September, gold relinquished the crucial $1,900 per ounce mark it had held since mid-August. Investors shifted their focus to the U.S. dollar, considering it a safer haven due to the comparatively robust economic growth in the United States. The U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose by 2.1% in the second quarter, following a 2.2% increase in the first quarter. The GDP is predicted to grow by 2.1% for the entire year 2023. In contrast, the Eurozone's economy is expected to grow by only 0.7% this year.

This decline in gold prices reflects a complex interplay of economic factors and investor sentiment, emphasizing the impact of global economic trends on precious metal markets.
