JP Morgan has reaffirmed its bullish stance on gold, citing the recent escalation of the US-China tariff trade war as a catalyst. The bank maintains its near-term bearish outlook for base metals, attributing the downward pressure to growth concerns and macroeconomic risk-off sentiment.
LME (London Metal Exchange) base metal prices are expected to face significant near-term sell-off pressures due to these factors. The strengthening of the US dollar is also contributing to the decline in metal prices.
Gold prices have shown resilience so far, with the 5-minute candle chart displaying a bullish trend. This trend suggests that gold remains a safe-haven asset amidst global economic uncertainty, supporting JP Morgan’s bullish view on the precious metal.
