Morgan Stanley: Fed's Hawkish Stance Makes Gold's $5,200 Target Difficult

Morgan Stanley has stated that its previously set record target of $5,200 per ounce for gold prices is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve due to the hawkish monetary policy stance of the US Federal Reserve (Fed). The bank emphasized that market conditions need to be more favorable for this target to be realized. Analysts noted that strong gold purchases by central banks and a reduction in geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have provided short-term support for gold prices. However, these factors were deemed insufficient to trigger a new wave of upward momentum. According to Morgan Stanley, a revival in demand for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is critical for establishing a sustained upward trend in gold. The bank assesses that ETF flows remain weak in the current environment, limiting the momentum needed to drive prices higher. This is not investment advice.

According to Morgan Stanley's own analysis, the Federal Reserve's stance is complicating the gold price target. While this may not serve as a direct catalyst for the company's own stock, it could create macroeconomic uncertainty and interest rate sensitivity. Technically, the RSI is at 51, indicating a neutral zone, the MACD remains below the signal line, and the price is slightly below the 20-day moving average. Therefore, no clear direction is expected in the short term.
