Goldman Sachs, long bullish on gold, said there’s room for the precious metal to rally even higher than its forecast, citing interest from private investors.
Surprisingly strong inflows to bullion-backed exchange-traded funds have exceeded their previous model, analysts including Daan Struyven said in a note.
