In view of positive real US yields, economists at Erste Group Research expect "only" a sideways movement of the Gold price in the fourth quarter.
Real yields are already in positive territory in the US. This fact currently stands in the way of a sustained upward movement of the Gold price.
We expect a sideways movement of the Gold price in the range between approx. $1,930-$1,960 for the Q4.
