Several financial analysts predict that gold prices will continue to gain ground, supported by forecasts that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates later this year. According to Patrick Yip of American Precious Metals, the $3,000 mark could be reached as soon as next year if geopolitical issues and central bank demand persist.

Financial Analysts Predict a Shining Future for Gold Prices

Financial analysts linked to Wall Street companies are all estimating that gold prices will keep going up this and the following year, given the current economic and geopolitical climate. The precious metal has outperformed the S&P500, reaching all-time high numbers recently.

This run is likely to take gold to $2,600 by mid-2025 according to a raised forecast from Commerzbank Research, expecting three interest cuts in 2024 and three more in 2025. “Accordingly, we expect the gold price to rise further to $2,600 by the middle of next year,” senior commodity analyst Carsten Fritsch assessed. Nonetheless, he also predicts that gold will go back to $2,550 at the end of 2025 due to a “renewed rise in inflation and the associated speculation of interest rate hikes in the following year.”

However, others are even more bullish on gold’s growth. Bart Melek, global head of commodity strategy at TD Securities, declared that gold might reach prices of $2,700 in the coming quarters if the Fed starts easing.

Patrick Yip, senior director of business development at American Precious Metals Exchange, believes that a worsening geopolitical situation and rate cuts, aided by continued central bank demand, might take prices as high as $3,000 per ounce in 2025.

This same prediction was made by Mike McGlone, Senior Commodity Strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, who said that gold prices might reach $3,000 powered by significant risks of increased stock market volatility and global recession, particularly emphasizing economic challenges in China.

If the fears of a looming recession, predicted by economists like Jim Rickards, come to fruition, demand for gold and other hard assets might exacerbate, propping gold prices even higher.
