Also December was so far pleasing for the gold price, the 1,800 U.S. dollar mark per ounce could be cracked. The reduced interest rate hikes by the Fed, which are imminent, have probably made themselves felt. And one hopes for the end of the interest rate increases. Because that would do the gold price again good. Now a weaker U.S. dollar as well as clearly fallen bond yields worked for higher prices in the precious metal. The all-clear cannot be given quite yet, because the Fed’s inflation target of two percent is still a long way off and the Fed will fix a certain interest rate level. In any case, after four hikes of 75 basis points each, the next rate move will probably be only 50 basis points. Outflows from gold ETFs, while still continuing, have slowed. Thus, speculative financial investors do not yet seem to be convinced to get back into gold.

Next year, gold investors can hope for better times. The World Gold Council also expects a stable positive environment for the precious metal in 2023. However, there are more uncertainties than usual, keyword recession, stagflation, inflationary pressure. Geopolitical tensions could also increase. If unfavorable conditions manifest themselves, then economic consequences would be expected. This in turn should then play into the hands of the safe haven gold and drive the gold price. Thus, the environment for gold remains challenging, but those who believe in the value stability of gold, and rightly so as history shows, can look to the stocks of gold companies.
