Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:55:25 -0400

Investing.com -- UBS has lowered its gold price forecasts by $300-900/oz, citing a "double whammy" of stronger US economic data and a delayed Fed easing timeline now pushed to 2027.

Strategists Dominic Schnider, Giovanni Staunovo, and Wayne Gordon said in a note that gold has faced renewed pressure as resilient labor market data and higher real yields prompted markets to shift expectations toward a possible rate hike this year.

UBS noted that momentum indicators suggest prices "may continue to gravitate toward the USD 3,850-4,000/oz range in the near term."

The bank noted that the metal's "muted response to the escalation

UBS: Gold faces short-term headwinds but structural drivers point to new highs

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 18:03:53 -0400

Investing.com -- Macroeconomic pressures tied to the conflict in the Middle East have interrupted the multi-month rally in precious metals as stickier inflation data recalibrates monetary policy expectations. Investors now anticipate that the Federal Reserve will maintain higher-for-longer interest rates, elevating real yields and increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing bullion, wrote UBS Switzerland Chief Investment Officer Michael Bolliger in a note to clients Friday.

The resulting price correction highlights how sensitive commodities remain to immediate changes in borrowing costs. "Higher real yields have weighed on the

Investing.com -- Gold appears to be holding above some key technical levels, and Yardeni Research said in a note Friday that it believes support should hold, making the recent pullback a potential entry point for investors willing to look past near-term headwinds tied to the Middle East conflict.

The precious metal peaked on January 29 before tumbling near the end of March as fighting escalated in the region.

It rebounded through mid-April during a brief ceasefire but is now testing its March 26 low, its 200-day moving average and its intermediate uptrend line simultaneously.

Can gold rebound as Fed tightening fears fade?

Thu, 28 May 2026 06:48:50 -0400

Investing.com -- Gold has shed more than 16% of its value since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran at the end of February, but UBS believes the precious metal can reclaim lost ground as fears of Federal Reserve tightening gradually ease later this year.

In a note to clients, UBS stated that gold has come under pressure because "worries that high energy prices will lead to tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve and other central banks, raising the opportunity cost of holding the precious metal."
