Citi Analysts See Gold's Highs Continuing

Gold prices have hit new highs, with futures hitting new records and analysts optimistic about the precious metal’s trajectory. Even as spot gold trades higher, analysts from Citi highlight that, adjusted for inflation, gold’s current prices are still below historic highs. Nevertheless, Citi analysts maintain a positive outlook, suggesting a 25% chance gold could average around $2,300 per ounce in the latter half of the year, with a more conservative estimate at $2,150. They also entertain a possibility of gold hitting an extraordinary $3,000 per ounce in the next 12 to 16 months.
