Jewelers see boom as gold prices break records
- In mid-March, the gold price surpassed $3,000 per ounce for the first time, leading Bank of America and UBS to significantly raise their gold price forecasts.
- Gold is traditionally seen as a stable asset and reliable store of value during market fluctuations, especially when currency value declines, making it a strategic investment amidst economic uncertainty.
- Bank of America's revised forecasts project gold prices reaching $3,063 per ounce in 2025 and $3,350 per ounce in 2026, while UBS raised its gold price forecast to US$3,200 over the next four quarters, citing persistent geopolitical risks and a prolonged trade conflict.
