Bank of America: Gold prices are still on track to reach $6,000, with tariffs and Federal Reserve variables becoming catalysts According to a report from Bank of America Global Research on Thursday, gold prices are expected to break through the historic threshold of $6,000 per ounce within the next 12 months. The uncertainty brought about by changes in the leadership of the Federal Reserve, combined with economic risks triggered by U.S. tariff policies, is prompting more funds to flow into the gold market. However, the bank also acknowledges that gold prices may face resistance in the short term, as investors need time to adjust to higher price levels. The report indicates that the pace at which investors are increasing their gold holdings has slowed down, "therefore we expect gold prices may weaken temporarily before spring. However, due to the renewed uncertainty surrounding tariffs, this consolidation period may be relatively short." Regarding silver, Bank of America analysts are taking a relatively cautious stance. They state that silver "has a more complex trend, and we are concerned that prices may further correct in the short term," but they also do not rule out the possibility of silver prices returning to $100 per ounce. On Thursday, as the third round of nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran commenced in Geneva, investors chose to wait and see, leading to a slight decline in gold futures, while silver ended its previous seven-day winning streak. As of Friday's press time, spot gold was up 0.17% at $5,194.01 per ounce, and spot silver was up 1.80% at $89.8895 per ounce. Forex.com analyst Razan Hilal stated in a report: "This week, gold and silver attempted to break through resistance levels of $5,200 and $90, respectively, but both failed to maintain upward momentum. If a geopolitical agreement is reached in the short term, the risk of a pullback in gold and silver will increase." ### Related Stocks - [VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GDX.US.md) - [Kinross Gold Corporation (KGC.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KGC.US.md) - [ChinaAMC Gold ETF (518850.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/518850.CN.md) - [ChinaAMC CSI SH-SZ-HK Gold Industry Equity ETF (159562.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159562.CN.md) - [abrdn Physical Gold Shares ETF (SGOL.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SGOL.US.md) - [ProShares Ultra Gold (UGL.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/UGL.US.md) - [ZHONGJIN GOLD (600489.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600489.CN.md) - [iShares Gold Trust (IAU.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IAU.US.md) - [VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GDXJ.US.md) - [Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (AEM.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AEM.US.md) - [Sprott Active Gold & Silver Miners ETF (GBUG.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GBUG.US.md) - [Newmont Corporation (NEM.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NEM.US.md) - [SPDR® Gold Shares (GLD.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GLD.US.md) - [SD-GOLD (600547.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600547.CN.md) - [Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF (SGDJ.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SGDJ.US.md) - [iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF (RING.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RING.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Stakeholder Gold Closes Two Tranches of Flow-Through Financing | SKHRF Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/279845301.md) - [Klondike Gold (CVE:KG) Trading Down 6.4% - Time to Sell?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/279651800.md) - [Golden Lake Announces Securityholder Approval of Arrangement with McEwen Inc. | GOLXF Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/279724423.md) - [Gold rises over 2% on softer dollar, easing fears of higher interest rates](https://longbridge.com/en/news/280406189.md) - [Torex Gold Expands Resource Base With Los Reyes and Media Luna West Inferred Discovery](https://longbridge.com/en/news/280378845.md)
