In a recent analysis, Citigroup has upgraded its short-term forecasts for gold, projecting that prices could soar to $5,000 per ounce and that silver might rise to $100 per ounce within the next three months. These projections are occurring against a backdrop of increasing geopolitical tensions, physical supply shortages, and heightened uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve’s future policy direction.
As of 9:04 AM Singapore time, gold experienced a slight decline of 0.2%, settling at $4,585.35 per ounce. In parallel, the Bloomberg Dollar Index remained stable, indicating a consistent economic climate.
