Gold to Hit $1,800 Mark as Inflation-Hedge Assets Gains Appeal: TD Strategists Declare

Gold remains range-bound around the $1,770 level for the better part of the European session and even now as we approach the close of the session. Meanwhile, strategists at TD Securities have opined that the yellow metal will likely surpass the $1,800 mark as inflation-hedge assets gain popularity.

According to the strategists, gold is on the brink of a breakout as recent price action continues to strengthen investors’ view of gold’s role switching from just a safe-haven asset to an inflation-hedge product. They added that the whole “maturity spectrum” of inflation breakevens are still considered to be below policy objectives. This means that declining rates should extend further support for gold to take the $1,800s in the near-term.

They ended by citing that recent changes in the Federal Reserve’s template strongly suggest that inflation-hedge assets like gold could continue to grow in popularity.

Gold remained in a consolidation range throughout today’s trading session considering there were no significant fundamental catalysts today. We can observe a descending trendline on our MACD indicator. A break above this line will be a healthy signal that gold has regained its bullish steam and we could see it go for the $1,800 yet again.
