The financier spoke about the pattern of gold correction before the new growth

The gold market has paused after the fastest growth in recent years. A correction of 7-10% has become a regular phase before a new round of movement. Experts call what is happening a second chance for investors — an opportunity to enter the market at more attractive prices while quotes are recovering. The service's specialists told Izvestia about this on November 11. Moneymatika.ru .

According to Bloomberg, volatility in the gold market has increased sharply — quotes react more strongly to speculation than to fundamental factors. It is noted that on October 29, after a speech by the head of the US Federal Reserve System, Jerome Powell, who did not confirm the possibility of a rate cut in December, gold sank by 1.5%.

Analysts emphasize that the decline is temporary. The fundamental growth factors remain the same: the US government debt continues to grow, confidence in the dollar is declining, and central banks are actively looking for alternatives to Treasuries. Since the beginning of 2025, gold has risen in price by almost 30%, after which it naturally entered the correction phase. By the end of October, prices had fallen by 10% from their peak, but analysts see no reason to panic.

"Gold is not just a metal, it is an insurance cushion for an investor. Its value has been proven for centuries, and any corrections are only temporary entry points before new growth," said the CEO of the service. Moneymatika.ru . Maxim Molderf.

Gold on the way out: why the Central Bank is selling precious metals at record prices

The Bank of Russia has become one of the few regulators in the world to get rid of gold in 2025.

Over the past 10 years, the maximum annual correction in gold has been about 20% and has always been accompanied by new growth. After record peaks, the decline rarely exceeded 13%, which is exactly the kind of drawdown the market has already partially recouped, recovering by about $200 from local lows. Since 2000, the largest local corrections — 33% in 2008 and 2012-2013 — occurred during periods of inventory sell-off by central banks. Now the opposite is observed: the states of the global south, on the contrary, are actively increasing gold reserves, taking advantage of a temporary decrease in prices.

According to the World Gold Council (WGC), in the third quarter of 2025, global demand for gold reached a record 1,313 tons, or $146 billion. Investment demand amounted to 537 tons— which is 47% more than a year earlier. Central banks bought 220 tons in the quarter, increasing the annual volume of purchases to 634 tons.

History confirms the reliability of gold as a long-term asset. Over the past 50 years, since the abolition of the gold standard, the metal has grown more than 50 times, having survived crises, wars and economic turmoil. Even after deep corrections, gold has consistently recovered and updated its highs. Molderf stressed that gold should now be in every investor's portfolio.

Invaluable contribution: gold may rise in price by 10% to $4,300 per ounce

The precious metal has already strengthened 1.5 times since the beginning of the year, but does it make sense to invest in it now

"A correction is not a reason to sell, but a chance to buy cheaper before a new breakthrough. Experienced investors use an averaging strategy to lower the average purchase price and increase profitability," the financier said.

The current correction is an opportunity for a second chance. Investors who missed the start of the rally at the beginning of the year can enter the market at a bargain price. Averaging the cost allows you to minimize the impact of the spread and increase future profitability when selling. Short-term drawdowns caused by the strengthening of the dollar or profit-taking do not change the fundamental picture: an increase in global government debt, a decrease in confidence in the dollar and an increase in demand for protective assets create conditions for the continuation of the upward trend in gold.

The information in the material is not an investment recommendation.

Earlier, on October 22, Alexander Schneiderman, head of Alfa-Forex's customer support and sales department, said that the decline in gold prices should be considered not as the beginning of a market reversal, but as a short-term correction after the rapid growth that has continued over the past year. The reasons for the volatility, the expert explains, are primarily related to technical factors: overbought conditions, a significant volume of margin positions of trailers and general nervousness on financial markets.
