Vancouver, BC –News Direct– MarketJar
Gold prices have once again broken new records this week, surpassing $2,350 per ounce, driven by continued central bank gold purchases and inflows from safe-haven seekers amid geopolitical tensions.1
Shift in Gold Reserves
China’s central bank added another 160,000 troy ounces of gold to its reserves in March, marking seventeen consecutive months of such actions. With the Chinese yuan facing challenges as the world’s second most significant reserve currency, and countries like Japan, Russia, Turkey, and Poland expressing apprehensions about relying too heavily on the US dollar, a noticeable shift towards gold investments has emerged.
Optimistic Outlook and Price Predictions
Analysts are maintaining a positive outlook on gold’s future, with some forecasting even higher price escalations. Noted economist David Rosenberg considers the recent surge in gold prices as “especially impressive,” outperforming bitcoin and major currencies while overcoming typical economic headwinds like dollar strength, falling inflation expectations, and prolonged high-interest rates.2
Rosenberg anticipates gold prices to soar to $3,000 per ounce, hinting at a potential 30% increase from current levels.
Undervalued Gold Stocks
Despite gold prices surging over 25% since October 2023, gold stocks are still undervalued when measured against their technical and fundamental aspects.3 This discrepancy has caught the attention of investors, particularly in the gold mining sector.
