Summary
Gold prices have sustained a decline amid renewed tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and indications of possible U.S. interest-rate increases. Market activity suggests that the possibility of U.S. interest-rate hikes and geopolitical tensions are consistent with a decrease in gold prices. Current gold market pricing indicates a low probability of gold reaching $4,600 in July, with only 1% of market participants supporting this outcome. The likelihood of gold dipping to lower price targets, such as $3,900, is higher, with market odds at 54% YES for this scenario. Observers should monitor Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s statements for any changes in the interest-rate outlook, as this could influence gold prices further.
