Key Insights
- Gold’s slight price dip reflects rate hike concerns; trades within $2,000-$2,050 amid Fed’s stance.
- Copper’s price uptick limited by weak demand signals from China; remains near three-week lows.
- Goldman Sachs maintains gold’s bullish 12-month forecast at $2,175, citing demand and geopolitics.
Gold’s price experienced a minor decline, closing at $2,032.61 an ounce, influenced by the anticipation of persistently high U.S. interest rates and a stronger dollar, despite recent consolidation.
The metal has been trading between $2,000 and $2,050, with the market adjusting to the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance and delaying rate cuts until June 2024.
Conversely, copper prices showed a slight increase but remained close to three-week lows at $3.7523 a pound, reflecting concerns over China’s economic health and reduced demand from the world’s top copper importer.
Analysts from Goldman Sachs suggest gold’s downside will be restrained by strong physical demand and geopolitical uncertainties, maintaining a 12-month target of $2,175 an ounce.

Silver‘s market performance on February 8th reflects a bullish sentiment, with a 0.66% rise to $22.36400. The metal’s trajectory hovers above the pivot point at $22.48298, signifying a potential for continued upward movement.
