🟡 Gold Long-Term Outlook: A Diversified Analysis Across All Dimensions 📅 Dated: June 5, 2025🧠 Prepared by: MJ Forex Academy After achieving a record high of $3,500/oz in Q1 2025, the gold market is currently in a neutral structural range—with prices oscillating between $3,125 and $3,433. While gold has not broken its daily structural high or low, the long-term outlook remains strongly bullish, supported by: Robust central bank demand Rising geopolitical risks A shift in monetary policy cycles Global trends in de-dollarization Institutional positioning and strategic asset reallocation This report by MJ Forex Academy presents a comprehensive multi-dimensional analysis—spanning fundamentals, technicals, sentiment, liquidity, macro trends, and institutional forecasts—to guide investors, traders, and portfolio managers into 2026 and beyond. 🔍 1. Fundamental Drivers 📉 Monetary Policy Shift Federal Reserve: Markets are pricing in a rate cut cycle to begin in Q3–Q4 2025, as U.S. economic data softens (notably, slowing job growth and service sector contraction). ECB and Global Central Banks: Easing pressures build amid declining inflation and political unrest in Europe. 🏦 Central Bank Gold Buying World Gold Council reports a sustained wave of buying by central banks. India has added over 77 tonnes to reserves in the past 10 months. China and Russia continue stockpiling as part of de-dollarization efforts. GCC nations (especially Saudi Arabia and UAE) have also increased their gold allocations amid regional risk. 💵 De-Dollarization Global shift away from USD, especially within BRICS+ and Global South economies, is accelerating. Gold is increasingly seen as the neutral reserve asset in a politically fragmented global system. ⚔️ 2. Geopolitical & Systemic Risk Analysis Russia–Ukraine War: Escalation remains unresolved. NATO responses and military spending reinforce gold’s role as a security hedge. Middle East Flashpoints: Yemen conflict, tensions in the Red Sea, and Israel–Iran proxy movements heighten regional uncertainty. EU Political Disintegration Risk: Rising nationalism, economic fragmentation, and external threats lead European policymakers to label 2025 as a year of “existential vulnerability.” U.S.–China Tensions: Trade barriers, chip restrictions, and Taiwan provocations add long-term tailwinds for gold. 📊 3. Technical Outlook Current Range: $3,125 (support) to $3,433 (resistance) Structure: Price is consolidating within a neutral internal structure on the daily chart.
