<ol>
<li>On October 8, Baosheng Media analyst Carsten Menke pointed out that gold purchases by central banks in emerging markets may continue for another 3 to 5 years. This forecast is based on the judgment that &#34;the gold allocation target ratio of emerging market central banks is 20%-25%,&#34; which is consistent with the global average level of central bank gold allocation. Menke stated that such gold purchases are expected to continue to be a structural driving factor for gold prices, as emerging market central banks aim to reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency while minimizing their exposure to U.S. sanctions. Baosheng Media reiterated its long-term positive outlook on gold and raised its three-month gold price target to USD 4,150 per troy ounce and its twelve-month target to USD 4,500 per troy ounce.
