Crazy predictions from investment banks for the gold outlook: Can it reach $8,000?
Gold prices are falling this week amid the strong rise in Treasury bond yields, which reached 5.2% at dawn today—the highest level since 2007. This jump indicates that a tight squeeze is taking shape in the markets.
So will gold fulfill the hopes of those yearning for a rally, or is this the end of the road?
The scene: a clear split between “hawks” and “doves”
Major investment banks’ forecasts for the gold path through the end of 2026, extending into 2027, are divided into two clear camps: one camp has slashed its outlook sharply, after it removed the possibility of a Federal Reserve rate cut in 2026 from its models (something that actually happened with the September hike). The other camp still sees the bullish structural trend as intact, relying mainly on the continued buying of gold by the world’s central banks.#BitcoinSpotETFsNetInflow$191M #BitgetSays$352MAffectedInHack #FedProposesRulesForBankIssuedStablecoins #FedProposesRulesForBankIssuedStablecoins
