We expect gold prices to rise toward USD 5,000/oz in the first half of 2027.”UBS expects lower real interest rates will help to reignite investment demand for the yellow metal. “[W]e expect inflation to gradually moderate, allowing the Fed to hold interest rates steady this year before resuming easing in 2027,” they said. “This should create a more favorable backdrop for gold, as a shift toward lower policy-rate expectations would likely reduce real yields, weigh on the US dollar, and help boost investment demand for gold.”A softening U.S. dollar and ongoing diversification flows are also powerful medium-term tailwinds for the gold price. “The US dollar may stay resilient in the near term, but structural challenges including large US fiscal and external deficits and already elevated investor allocations to US dollar assets mean there is scope for renewed weakness,” the strategists wrote. “A weaker dollar has historically been a powerful tailwind for gold, while a renewed focus on diversification away from the US dollar should benefit the precious metal.”Meanwhile, sovereign gold purchases continue to provide a firm price floor beneath the market. “Central bank demand has remained an important pillar of support, even when private investment demand has been lackluster,” they said. “We expect annual central bank purchases to remain elevated, supported by a long-term desire to reduce exposure to USD assets.”UBS noted that central banks bought 289 tonnes of gold in Q2, and their in-house estimates project full-year purchases to total between 750-1,000 tonnes in 2026. “While these flows may not be enough to drive prices sharply higher on their own, they can help stabilize the market and offset weaker areas such as jewelry demand.”The Swiss bank advised investors to separate gold’s near-term trading risk from its longer-term investment case. “[P]eriods of weakness toward USD 4,000/oz or below may ultimately prove to be opportunities to build strategic exposure,” they said. “For investors with an affinity for real assets, we continue to view a mid-single-digit gold allocation as appropriate within a well-diversified portfolio.”On May 26, UBS cut its year-end 2026 gold price forecast from $5,900 to $5,500 per ounce, citing risks of persistent headwinds from elevated Treasury yields and sustained U.S. dollar strength.UBS analysts Dominic Schnider and Wayne Gordon wrote at the time that investors are shying away from the yellow metal as yields stay high.“Markets are rediscovering the concept of opportunity cost, with gold’s non-yielding characteristics once again becoming a more important consideration as real rates remain elevated,” they wrote.See live precious metals prices for gold, silver, platinum and palladium — in USD, CAD and 12 more currencies.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.47.1","shortVersion":"4.47.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2659222165","isCrawlerRequest":true}
