[World Gold Council: Three Factors May Affect Gold Trends] The World Gold Council report pointed out that the surge in precious metal prices in December and the rebalancing of commodity indices may trigger short-term market volatility, but gold is expected to continue following its own operational logic.

In addition, the ongoing escalation of geopolitical conflicts (such as the recent U.S. actions in Venezuela) also provides support for gold prices.
