Gold to Set New Price Record - What is the Role of the USA.
The investment company Fidelity International predicts that by the end of 2026, the price of gold could reach 4000 dollars per ounce. The main reasons for this growth are the decrease in interest rates in the USA, the weakening of the dollar, and stable demand from central banks. All of this creates excellent conditions for the growth of gold prices.
Gold is an asset that reacts to economic and geopolitical changes. According to Bloomberg, the main factors that will influence the price increase will be US monetary policy and global economic trends.
Fund manager Jan Samson noted: 'We see a pathway towards more dovish actions from the Federal Reserve'. He assesses the prospects of lowering interest rates as very important, as this could make gold more attractive to investors.
Current Situation in the Gold Market
Currently, the price of gold stands at about 3324 dollars per ounce, slightly below its historical peak. Since the beginning of the year, the value of gold has risen by over 25% due to geopolitical tensions and uncertainty in international trade. According to Jan Samson, the current growth has not yet reached its peak.
The Role of the USA in Gold Price Growth
The USA influences the price of gold through its monetary policy and the status of the dollar as the world's reserve currency. Lowering interest rates, the weakening of the dollar, and the budget deficit can support the increase in the metal's price.
Forecasts from Other Experts
The forecast from Fidelity International aligns with Goldman Sachs' estimates, which also predict the price to rise to 4000 dollars per ounce. Although some analysts, such as Citigroup, expect a temporary decrease in prices, most experts see positive prospects for gold in the long term.
'Gold is not only a protection of capital but also an opportunity to gain profit in the long term,' emphasizes Jan Samson.
The views of experts and forecasts for the development of gold prices indicate a favorable situation for the precious metal in the coming years. Lower interest rates in the USA, the weakening of the dollar, and geopolitical risks foster increasing investment interest in gold as a potentially reliable asset.Read also
