Börse: Goldpreis zieht an - Seit Jahrestief elf Prozent im Plus
Gold verteuert sich, doch frühere Rekordkurse bleiben in weiter Ferne. Immerhin: Manche Experten sind wieder optimistischer.
Since the start of the week, the price of gold has picked up, marking its first increase since hitting a yearly low of $3,943 at the end of June. The price briefly surged above the $4,400 mark in the early hours of Monday, before settling at $4,394, still 0.4% higher than the previous Friday. This represents an 11% gain from the record low, though a single fine ounce of gold still costs around $1,200, or about one-fifth less than the January peak of nearly $5,600.
The rally has effectively tripled the price over a little more than two years, driven by factors such as wars, trade disputes, falling interest rates, high government debt, and central bank purchases. While some experts predict continued gains for gold in the coming months, most do not expect a rapid return to prices above $5,000.
On average, experts forecast the fine ounce of gold to rise to around $4,500 by the end of the year. Analysts from US investment bank Goldman Sachs, among others, remain optimistic, with a December target of $4,900.
