She was arrested

🔥UBS’s latest view: This gold rally isn’t driven by sentiment—it has fundamental support
The institution expects gold prices to potentially hit $5,000/oz in the first half of 2027.

As interest rates decline, real yields on U.S. Treasuries will weaken, while the dollar is also likely to weaken, prompting more capital to flow into gold and opening up further upside for gold prices.
Do you think gold can reach $5,000? Let’s discuss in the comments
