ANZ raises year-end gold forecast to $3,800 per ounce
ANZ Group on Wednesday raised its year-end gold price forecast to $3,800 per ounce and said prices could peak near $4,000 by June next year, citing robust investment demand for bullion.
Spot gold GOLD hit a record high of $3,673.95 on Tuesday and gold is up 38% year-to-date, driven by a weaker dollar, strong central bank purchases, dovish monetary policies, and rising global uncertainty.
Greenback-priced bullion, which yields no interest and is often considered as a safe-haven asset during periods of economic and geopolitical uncertainty, typically performs well in a low-interest-rate environment.
