Goldman Sachs: Even with a strong dollar, Gold will still be strong, and central banks will buy more.
Goldman Sachs believes that the West looks at the Federal Reserve, expecting a rate cut of 125 basis points by the end of next year will boost Gold prices by 7%; the East looks at central banks, where a strong dollar will not stop central banks from purchasing Gold, with expectations that by the end of 2025, central bank purchases will increase Gold prices by 9%.
Will gold continue to shine next year? Goldman Sachs is listed as one of the “three major catalysts”: see you at $3,000!
