The latest Kitco News Weekly Gold Survey showed industry experts evenly divided on gold's prospects, while retail traders grew more bullish after gold held key support.

 

"Up," said James Stanley, senior market strategist at Forex.com. "I think it's easy to look at the way that the week has played out and then look for a deeper pullback. But I'm still biased as bullish on gold and would rather look for another support to hit for the broader trend to play through."

 

"Higher," said Rich Checkan, president and COO of Asset Strategies International. "Momentum favors both gold and silver at present. Although we may see some profit-taking, I expect gold to build higher over the next week on a weaker U.S. dollar, stalled peace initiatives in the Middle East and Ukraine, continued tariff ramifications, and the realization that the Big Beautiful Bill going through the U.S. Senate right now will increase the debt and lead to further monetary expansion and consumer price inflation."

 

"Up," said Adrian Day, president of Adrian Day Asset Management. "Finally, there are indications that North American investors are picking up their gold purchases, not yet in any flood, but the tide is turning."

 

Meanwhile, 256 votes were cast in Kitco's online poll, with Main Street growing more bullish after gold held its ground. 169 retail traders, or 66%, looked for gold prices to rise next week, while 39, or 15%, expected the yellow metal to trade lower. The remaining 48 investors, or 19%, saw prices continuing to consolidate during the week ahead.

 

And Kitco Senior Analyst Jim Wyckoff believes gold prices could still benefit from safe-haven demand next week. "Steady-higher as risk appetite far from robust and charts remain bullish."
