Goldman Sachs raises gold price forecast to $3100 by the end of the year

Goldman Sachs Group analysts increased their prediction for gold prices by the end of 2025 to $3,100 per ounce, attributing this to central bank acquisitions and inflows into exchange-traded funds, as reported by Bloomberg based on an analytical report. Goldman Sachs predicted last year that gold would reach $3,000 an ounce by the year’s end.

According to Goldman Sachs analysts Lina Thomas and Daan Struyven, central banks demand might average 50 tons each month, which is greater than earlier forecasts.

In response to worries about inflation and fiscal risks, central banks—particularly those holding large amounts of U.S. Treasuries—might be motivated to boost their gold reserves, as pointed out by Goldman Sachs. Analysts also anticipate a “steady increase” in investments in gold-focused exchange-traded funds.

The analysts believe that if there is uncertainty in U.S. economic policy, such as tariffs on imports from various nations, the price of gold might rise to $3300 per ounce because of speculative actions. Bloomberg observes that this indicates a 26% rise in the price of gold for the year.
