The primary factor that drove the price of gold in 2015 was the U.S. Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.

Throughout the year, there was speculation about when the Fed would begin to raise interest rates. As the year progressed, it became clear that the economy was stronger than expected, and the Fed ultimately raised rates in December for the first time in almost a decade.

This tightening of monetary policy made it more expensive to hold positions in gold, and investors fled the metal in favor of higher-yielding assets like bonds. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar also put pressure on gold prices, as a stronger dollar makes commodities priced in the currency more expensive for buyers using other currencies.

In addition to monetary policy, geopolitical events also had an impact on the price of gold.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the growing threat of terrorism continued to drive demand for safe-haven assets like gold. The ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions against Russia also put upward pressure on the price of gold, as investors sought safety in the face of increased geopolitical risk.

2015 was a challenging year for the gold market.

With prices impacted by a combination of monetary policy, geopolitical events, and a stronger U.S. dollar. However, despite these headwinds, gold still managed to end the year slightly higher than where it began, which is a testament to the metal’s resilience and its status as a long-term store of value. Gold prices were expected to bottom out in 2015 after a two-year decline. This is due to a number of factors, including better prospects for gold sales in Asia, lower selling from Western investors, and a retreat in mine supply. The end of the bear cycle for gold may come shortly after the Federal Reserve starts raising interest rates, which is expected to be slow and modest.

The company predicts that gold prices will bottom out at $1,080 an ounce and average $1,190 an ounce in the full year. From 2016 onwards, various factors such as debt, inflation, foreign exchange, commodity, and equity markets and international relations could lead to a renewed gold bull market. In 2014, demand for gold jewelry, coins, and bars fell 2% due to a 28% slump in the previous year, while jewelry consumption declined 9% and physical investment slid 41%. This year, Metals Focus predicts a 3% rise in jewelry consumption and a slightly lower buying rate by central banks. Gold mine production is expected to decline by 14 tonnes after rising 2% to a record 3,133 tonnes in 2014.
