Goldman Sachs maintains its forecast for gold at $3,000 per ounce by December 2025, citing structural demand from central banks and potential Fed rate cuts as key drivers. UBS is slightly less optimistic, targeting $2,900, and suggests capitalizing on price declines, with strong support at $2,500. Both firms highlight gold as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical risks, recommending a 5% allocation in a balanced dollar portfolio.
