고용 지표 악화와 인플레이션 완화 전망에 따른 달러 약세 가능성이 금 가격의 강력한 상승 동력으로 작용하고 있습니다([Zacks], [24/7 Wall St.]). 최근 10일간 우상향하는 추세를 유지하며 전고점 대비 여전히 낮은 수준에 위치해 있어, 추가적인 매수 수요와 함께 주간 가격은 상방 압력을 받을 것으로 예측됩니다.

Gold's structural drivers stayed intact this week: sticky above-target inflation, a live risk the Fed hikes in September, and ongoing Middle East tensions all support safe-haven demand. GLD broke out hard (374 on 8/4 to 401 on 8/14), a decisive weekly uptrend holding new highs. Some analysts flag near-term consolidation after the sharp run, but with FOMC minutes and inflation angst as this week's catalysts, the macro tailwind and momentum favor up in 1 week.

Gold broke out sharply — GLD +~7% in three sessions to 398 (series high) — on geopolitical tension, persistent central-bank buying and flight-to-safety flows, with JPMorgan targeting much higher gold in 2026. The decisive close at new highs typically sees momentum follow-through over the next week, so I expect continuation. Risk: a +7% spike leaves it overbought and vulnerable to a pullback if risk-on equities keep pulling flows away.
