Gold Falls From Peaks Amid Profit-Taking, Trade War Fears Linger
Wednesday, 12 February 2025 03:43 WIB | GOLD |GOLDEMAS

Gold prices fell below $2,900 an ounce on Tuesday (2/11) from a record $2,940 as investors took profits, although sentiment remained bullish amid trade tensions. The decline was driven by short-term traders cashing in profits, with some expecting consolidation before the next move higher. President Trump's 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports fueled fears of a broader trade war, adding to market uncertainty. Investors now await Wednesday's US inflation data, which could shape Fed policy expectations. While gold is a hedge against inflation, the Fed's cautious stance on rate cuts could limit near-term gains. However, ongoing geopolitical risks and the potential for fresh tariffs could keep gold supported. Elsewhere, the BoE and RBI recently implemented dovish interest rate cuts, mirroring similar moves by the ECB, Riksbank and BoC. Additionally, sustained central bank demand is supporting gold, with the PBoC expanding its reserves for a third straight month in January.
