⚫Goldman Sachs adjusted the gold price forecast, saying that by the end of 2025 the gold price will reach 2910 USD/ounce, instead of 3000 USD as previously expected, and the target of 3000 USD was moved to mid-2026. The reason is due to the Fed's interest rate reduction policy being less aggressive than expected and demand for gold ETFs decreasing.
