Goldman Sachs has changed its mind! It has lowered the Target Price for Gold and no longer expects it to reach 3000 USD by the end of the year.

Goldman Sachs pointed out that the slowdown in the USA's monetary policy easing in 2025 will suppress the demand for Gold ETFs. Therefore, it is expected that the gold price will reach $2910 per ounce by the end of this year, rather than the previously anticipated $3000 per ounce. Goldman Sachs also expects the gold price to reach $3000 per ounce by mid-2026 as the Federal Reserve continues to cut interest rates.
