Citi: Expects short-term gold target price of $4,500
Citi stated that the base case shows that although the third quarter is historically a seasonal peak for restocking, India's gold import volume will remain sluggish in the third quarter. The reasons lie in ample scrap supply, cautious consumer sentiment, and local price discounts, which have suppressed fresh import demand. However, Citi still sets the 0-to-3-month short-term gold price target at $4,500. The bank stated that this target assumes easing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the Fed turning less hawkish; short-term risks remain that could cause gold prices to test lower levels again, including significant re-escalation, AI-driven de-risking operations, and the Fed's continued hawkish stance.
