In addition to base metals, which Bank of America believes have good price prospects for the second half of the new year, gold in particular is set to shine. Although the price of gold has risen significantly as a result of the conflict in the Middle East, the Fed’s monetary policy decisions are likely to ultimately boost the price. Interest rate cuts could drive the price of the precious metal up to USD 2,400 per troy ounce. In view of the enormous debt burden, the Fed will cut interest rates and then the low interest rates and a weaker US dollar will provide a boost to the gold price. It remains to be seen whether the Fed will cut interest rates in March or May. Further steps and statements by the ECB and the Bank of England will also have a certain impact on the price of the precious metal.

If investment demand for gold-backed exchange-traded products also increases, as there is still pent-up demand here, then higher gold prices should work. Some analysts believe that gold and silver are at the beginning of a bull market. The new all-time high recently reached would have underpinned this. The recent interest rate hikes have also shown that the gold price is strong. This is because it has remained relatively stable. Therefore, if the gold price is below the USD 2,000 mark, an entry should be considered. Gold companies in particular will benefit from a rise in the price of gold. Investors could therefore position themselves in good time, for example with an investment in Caledonia Mining or OceanaGold.
