Katsumiki Takaaki 'Weekly Gold Price Outlook' March 16, 2026 issue

The report on gold market outlook written weekly by Takaki Kabuki, the President and CEO of Investor Daily Co., Ltd.; a pioneer in astrology market analysis and a leading figure in financial cycle analysis, is presented here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last week’s New York gold price closed at $5,061.70, down $97.00 from the previous week. The costs of U.S.-Israel military actions against Iran are increasing daily, from the closure of the Hormuz Strait to the surpassing of $100 per barrel for crude oil.

U.S. stocks have been falling more rapidly since March. A stock shock can affect gold prices as well, but the sense is that gold’s decline has not been as strong as in past stock shocks. Although a comparison was made last week, a decline as severe as in past stock shocks has not yet occurred.

Classical theory would say that in wartime, risk-off sentiment drives investors into safe assets, causing bonds and gold to rise. However, in recent years it has come to be known that stock plunges can spill over into the gold market. Specifically, when the stock market plummets, investors who use leverage face margin calls, forcing them to liquidate profitable assets to raise cash. In such cases, the typical assets sold are gold futures and gold ETFs.
