#Gate广场五月交易分享 On May 4th, spot gold was stuck around the $4,600 level, with increased volatility in the early trading session. During the Asian trading hours, gold prices first fell below this level, then rebounded and stabilized, closing the day with a slight increase of 0.02%.
Today’s trend is mainly influenced by intense battles between bullish and bearish factors. On the bearish side, the Federal Reserve maintains a hawkish stance, and market expectations for interest rate cuts this year have basically been abandoned; at the same time, inflation pressures continue to intensify, with the March PCE price index rising to its highest level in nearly three years. Additionally, although there are signs of easing in the Middle East situation, the outlook remains uncertain, and statements from the Trump administration may escalate geopolitical tensions.
However, bullish support remains solid. The Chinese central bank has continuously increased its gold holdings, and emerging markets like India are also actively purchasing gold; structural factors such as high global debt and weakened dollar credit still support gold; further optimization of China’s gold import and export management is also expected to boost physical demand.
Many institutions forecast that gold in May will mainly fluctuate within a range. In the medium to long term, firms like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs remain optimistic about gold prices, with Morgan Stanley setting a target price of $5,200 per ounce for the second half of the year.
