UBS Global Wealth Management's Chief Investment Office stated that record-high gold prices could still rise further. The agency noted that gold prices hit an all-time high on Monday, having increased by over 27% since the beginning of 2024. The bank added that although record-high gold prices might deter some investors, further easing of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve, worsening tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine-Russia, as well as strong demand from investors and central banks, could support further increases in gold prices.
