Deep Tide TechFlow news, on June 17, according to Jinshi data, Citigroup stated that gold is expected to fall below $3,000 per ounce in the coming quarters. Analysts including Max Layton said, 'By the second half of 2026, gold will return to a level of around $2,500-2,700 per ounce.' Weakening investment demand, improving global economic growth prospects, and factors such as interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could all lead to a decline in gold prices. They said, 'We believe that gold's investment demand will weaken by the end of 2025 and into 2026, as Trump's rising popularity and the 'bearish options' of U.S. economic growth begin to take effect, especially as the U.S. midterm elections come into focus.' Additionally, 'We believe the Federal Reserve has significant room to lower restrictive policies to neutral.' In the bank's baseline forecast (with a probability of 60%), gold prices are expected to consolidate above $3,000 per ounce in the next quarter and then decline.
