Haven Demand Rises! Overseas Analysts Forecast Gold May Rally Toward $5,500 per Ounce

Deep News11:43

On March 2, spot gold closed at $5,321.43 per ounce, marking a gain of 0.82%. During the trading session, the price of gold dropped to as low as $5,260.03 per ounce, down 0.35%, before reaching an intraday high of $5,419.32.

Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, investors are increasingly turning to the gold market. The future direction of gold prices remains a key concern for market participants. According to a Reuters report, Fawad Razaqzada, a market analyst at CITY INDEX AND FOREX.COM, believes that rising safe-haven demand could push gold prices toward the $5,500 per ounce level again, potentially setting a new record above the January peak of $5,600. However, a potential rebound in the U.S. dollar, should crude oil prices continue to climb, may limit further gains beyond that level.

Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, commented, "There is no doubt this is a concerning escalation that will drive investors toward precious metals and energy sectors. The full impact is hard to predict, but given last week’s upward momentum, I wouldn’t be surprised if gold reaches new highs."
