In the next week, the US Federal Reserve will meet to decide the upcoming monetary policy, after the reappointment of Jerome Powell as Fed Chairman. High inflationary pressures will be at the top of their discussion as the country is dealing with a 40 years high headline inflation. The gold market is reacting in line with that, and rallying up gradually.

 

However, investors are now a bit uncertain about the monetary policy, and if the Fed takes strict measures the gold rates can fall. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group's (ANZ) senior commodity strategist Daniel Hynes told Kitco News, "The target for the end of the year is $1,600 for gold and $22 for silver. We're not expecting much upside from current levels. The $1,800 level is essentially our Q1 target, which is barely above current levels."

In the upcoming year, it is quite certain that the Fed will hike the interest rate to control inflation. The gold market is not very much volatile at present, but that can change. In the next year with the fall in inflation, gold prices will fall too. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group's (ANZ) senior commodity strategist Daniel Hynes told Kitco News, "We do expect to see some of that (inflation) to ease back a tad as supply bottlenecks ease. But we are starting to see signs that the expected pullback in inflation will be much more subdued than many have anticipated, including the Fed."
