Gold prices have recently surged to a record high of $2,947 per ounce, raising predictions that they could potentially reach $3,000. Factors behind this bullish outlook include robust central bank purchases, increased demand in emerging markets, and heightened investor interest due to economic uncertainties in the US and Europe. The SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) has seen significant inflows, reflecting a strong appetite for gold as a safe-haven asset amidst rising inflation concerns. Experts suggest that prices could stabilize between $2,900 and $3,100 within the coming months.
