Gold Price Analysis: XAU/USD to race higher towards $2000 by year-end – DBS Bank

Gold price has been recovering after its 10.5% depreciation in the first quarter. We reiterate that this is not the beginning of a gold bear market. A lower US Treasury yield after peaking at 1.75% last quarter should set the stage for a better quarter ahead for gold.” Read more...
