About this listen

In this episode, Nicholas Frappell, Global Head of Institutional Markets at ABC Refinery explains why Gold has surged to a historic US $3,759, and the momentum shows no sign of slowing.

📆 Recorded on Tuesday 23rd September 2025, this episode explores:

  • Why weakness in the US dollar and shifting Federal Reserve policy are fuelling the rally

  • Key price targets—including short-term resistance around US $3,800 and medium-term potential near US $4,000

  • The surge in ETF inflows and investor rotation out of equities

  • Geopolitical flashpoints and economic signals from China that could keep gold in demand

📈 Frappell also examines:

  • Dollar Index (DXY) weakness and what past declines suggest for a possible rebound.

  • September’s 25-bp cut and why the market’s hopes for deeper, faster easing may be misplaced.

  • Inflation break-even rates and why the Fed’s own projections challenge the “rapid cuts” narrative.

  • Rotation out of US equities and into gold as a hedge.

  • Technical targets: short-term and medium-term

  • Key support zones

  • Escalating tensions—Russian jets, uncertain US leadership—and their impact on safe-haven demand.

  • China’s slowing fixed-asset investment and soft consumption shaping global trade flows.
