بعد أنباء فرض رسوم على السبائك.. إلى أين تتجه أسعار الذهب؟

The White House intends to issue an executive order to clarify the United States' position on tariffs on gold bullion, after the decision to impose tariffs on a widely traded type of precious metal shocked the bullion market.

Bloomberg reported, citing informed sources, that the Trump administration proposed issuing clarification that imports of gold bullion should not be subject to tariffs, after the U.S. government surprised traders with the decision to subject them to tariffs.

Goldman Sachs revealed in a research note that it still assumes that no tariffs will be imposed on gold, given that there have been no indications of their actual imposition since the 10% counter-tariff rate came into effect last April.

The bank maintained its forecasts for gold prices in spot transactions in London at $3,700 per ounce by the end of 2025, and $4,000 by mid-2026.

In its last session, U.S. gold futures surged to an unprecedented level after a decision published on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website indicated that Washington might impose country-specific import tariffs on the most widely traded gold bullion in the United States, a move that could disrupt global supply chains for the metal.

However, gold futures trimmed their gains after an official stated, "The White House intends to issue an executive order in the near future to clarify the misinformation regarding tariffs on gold bullion."

The Financial Times had previously reported that Customs and Border Protection classified one-kilogram or 100-ounce bullion under a tariff code subject to tariffs.

This decision contradicts the sector's expectations of exempting these bullion from the reciprocal tariffs imposed by the president, including a 39% tariff on goods from Switzerland, a major exporter of the precious metal.

Gold futures recorded a record high during their last trading session after the United States surprised the global bullion market with this decision.
