Gold Price Forecast: Further XAU/USD recovery likely to be delayed – Commerzbank
Source Fxstreet
Gold (XAU/USD) has put the previous week's setback behind it and established itself above $2,000. Economists at Commerzbank analyze the yellow metal’s outlook.
XAU/USD year-end forecast lowered by $50 to $2,100
The fact that the US Federal Reserve will probably not cut interest rates until later in the year was quickly shrugged off: after all, postponed is not cancelled.
Nevertheless, our new forecast, according to which the US economy will avoid a recession and the Fed will cut interest rates later and less sharply, is likely to have consequences for the Gold price.
The rise in the Gold price that we expect will be delayed and less pronounced than previously thought. We are therefore lowering our XAU/USD forecast for the end of the year by $50 to $2,100.

Yet BTC only fell from $80,405 to $74,940, a 6.8% move. The gap between the fund flow and the price is the story: leveraged longs were flushed, but spot holders did not follow the ETFs out — and $75,000 is the line that decides whether that reading holds.

The CPI that has no year-over-year number is the one that decides DecemberOctober CPI lands on Nov 10 at 13:30 GMT, and it will be published without a year-over-year figure: BLS never collected October 2025 prices during the federal shutdown.
