Last year, the price of a troy ounce of gold rose by around 14%. At the end of the year, one ounce of gold cost 2053 US dollars. The current price is around 2045 US dollars. On the one hand, the various geopolitical risks speak in favor of gains in gold investments in the current year. In addition, major upcoming elections such as in the USA, India and the EU could strengthen gold as a hedge. Secondly, central bank demand should also prove to be very robust in the new year. According to estimates, central bank purchases have lifted the value of gold by around ten percent. If this trend intensifies, higher gold prices are inevitable. Investors will continue to keep a close eye on the decisions of the US Federal Reserve in 2024. Economic growth should be low, but still positive. Most analysts are now expecting a soft landing.

Inflation is also likely to fall further as a result. The central banks can then start to cut interest rates, which in turn would please investors. Nevertheless, the risk of a recession has not yet completely disappeared. After all, seven of the nine tightening cycles ended in recession. The two soft landings in the past did not result in such high returns for the gold price. Overall, however, risk and uncertainty are positive for investments in precious metals, especially gold. And if there is a recession, the economy will weaken, inflation will fall, and this would be positive for the gold price. Because then the expectation of falling interest rates would dominate the market all the more. A look at gold companies such as U.S. GoldMining or Calibre Mining would not hurt.
