Gold price prediction today<\/span>: <\/span>Gold prices are showing a positive bias, and while short-term news related fluctuations may occur, the long-term outlook is bullish, says Vedika Narvekar, Research Analyst – Commodities & Currencies, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers.<\/span>Gold prices have rebounded sharply in August, recovering earlier losses and gaining 14% MTD and bringing the YTD gain to around 7%. However, the metal still remains about 12% below pre-war levels. Last week, gold gained around 7% and briefly moved further to $4,700\/oz this week, supported by lower US Treasury yields, a weaker dollar, safe-haven demand and strong investment flows. Prices did witness profit booking at higher levels but the set up remains positive.One of the key drivers was the US Treasury\u2019s decision to increase long-dated bond buybacks. While this helped push long-term yields lower, it also brought US fiscal concerns back into focus. With US government debt above $40 trillion and the fiscal deficit still high, concerns around rising debt, inflation and possible dollar debasement are adding to gold\u2019s appeal as a safe-haven asset.As far as global investment demand is concerned, Global gold ETFs saw around 46.7 tonnes, or $6.4 billion, of inflows last week, the strongest weekly inflow since October 2025 and the fifth consecutive week of net buying. This shows that the rally is now getting broader support from institutional and portfolio investors, alongside continued central-bank buying.In physical markets, India continues to trade at a discount to landed prices, although the gap has narrowed as demand and imports recover. The latest India update says the discount to landed\/import-parity price had narrowed to around $45\/oz by August 14, from about $100\/oz in May\/early June, but remained above July\u2019s average of $34\/oz. China\u2019s jewellery demand remains soft, but investment demand is holding up better, with strong gold ETF inflows and continued PBoC buying providing support.<\/p>\n

Gold This Week: Jackson Hole in Focus<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The main event for gold this week is the Jackson Hole symposium from August 27\u201329, particularly Fed Chair Kevin Warsh\u2019s speech on Friday. Markets will look for clues on interest rates, inflation and the Fed\u2019s view on Treasury yields. US core PCE inflation will also be important. A dovish message from Warsh, combined with softer inflation and lower yields, could support another move higher in gold. A hawkish tone or stronger inflation could lead to some profit-taking.<\/p>\n

Gold Price Outlook<\/keyword><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The near-term outlook remains positive, but PCE data and Jackson Hole could determine the next move. If yields and the dollar remain under pressure, gold could break above $4,700 and move towards $4,880, while a hawkish Fed message could instead trigger some consolidation. In the longer term, strong ETF inflows, central-bank buying, fiscal concerns, dollar-debasement risks and geopolitical tensions continue to support the bullish case.<\/p>\n
