Gold prices return to $3300! Wall Street banks show significant divergence in long-term outlook
In fact, as gold prices fluctuate, Wall Street's major banks have recently shown a clear divergence in their views on gold prices. Unlike Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, which are optimistic about gold's performance, Citigroup believes that the long-term outlook for gold prices is not optimistic.
Although gold prices rose this week, market volatility has clearly increased. While the US-UK agreement is symbolic, its content is limited and insufficient to alleviate concerns about a global economic slowdown. Therefore, gold prices will continue to fluctuate between safe havens and policy signals, closely monitoring the Federal Reserve's interest rate expectations and global trade sentiment.
