[Gold Prices May Test New Highs if US Inflation Slows Further] Supported by expectations of further monetary easing in the US, ongoing geopolitical risks, and strong investor demand, spot gold prices continued their upward trend. Bas Kooijman, CEO and asset manager at DHF Capital, stated, "Despite mixed US jobs data, the market still expects the Fed to cut rates twice in the first half of 2026." Kooijman pointed out that investors are currently focused on Thursday's November Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, as signs of further slowing inflation could depress yields, weaken the dollar, and thus push gold prices to new historical highs. Meanwhile, geopolitical concerns fueled safe-haven demand, with US President Trump announcing a blockade of sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers, and tensions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East remaining high.
