Driven by trade war fears and increased central bank holdings, Citi and UBS raised their gold price forecasts, expecting the gold bull market to continue. Citi raised its short-term price target to $3,000 an ounce and raised its annual average price forecast from $2,800 to $2,900; UBS also raised its 12-month price target to $3,000. Gold has now risen to $2,860, an increase of about 9% this year. At the same time, benefiting from the rise in gold prices, gold-backed tokens such as PAXG and XAUT have outperformed the crypto market. It is expected that these assets will further benefit if the price of gold continues to climb.
