UBS | Gold Raising the forecasts
- We raise our gold forecasts to USD 2,750/oz by end-2024 (from USD 2,600/oz, USD 2,850/oz by mid-2025 (from USD 2,700/oz, and USD 2,900/oz by end-3Q25 (from USD 2,750/oz).
- Gold has risen by 29% this year, consistently breaking records on the way up. Meanwhile, the metal has risen above our long-held year-end target of USD 2,600/oz ahead of schedule. And according to the World Gold Council, it has historically rallied as much as 10% in the six months after the first Fed cut.
- As such, we see even higher prices over the next 6-12 months, driven by greater investment demand alongside a drop in US real rates, a seasonal recovery in jewelry consumption, and ongoing central bank purchases. Overall, we recommend an allocation of around 5% to gold within a balanced USD portfolio and stay Most Preferred in our global asset allocation.
