Tony Sage, CEO of Critical Metals, said disruptions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2022, reigniting fears of renewed global inflation pressures.

“Rising energy costs affected the monetary policy outlook and reduced the expectations of near-term rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, leading to higher yields. The latter could continue to weigh on gold, limiting its upside potential,” he said.

However, Sage added that geopolitical tensions continue to provide structural support.

“Ongoing tensions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East maintain elevated risk premium. Institutional demand also remains resilient, as evidenced by continued ETF inflows and ongoing central bank purchases,” he said.

Looking ahead, Sage sees that markets will closely monitor US inflation data later this week, including CPI and PCE releases.

“These indicators could prove decisive in shaping expectations for monetary policy and gold's near-term trajectory,” he concluded.
