■ U.S. Q2 GDP at 2.2%... 'Gold's Support Tested'

The U.S. Department of Commerce recently announced that the final figure for U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the second quarter of 2026 came in at 2.2% (annualized quarter-on-quarter). This reaffirmed the solid growth trajectory of the U.S. economy.

However, underlying price pressures and concerns over a consumption slowdown due to prolonged high interest rates still persist. Accordingly, it seems necessary to keep in mind that gold, as a safe-haven asset, is likely to remain in a phase where its support is tested, with demand dispersal from a soft economic landing intermingling with risk-hedging demand against long-term economic uncertainty.
