TechFlow news, September 4 — According to Jinshi Data, Goldman Sachs said that if the Federal Reserve's credibility is damaged and investors shift a small portion of U.S. Treasury holdings into gold, gold prices could rise to nearly $5,000 per ounce.
Analysts including Samantha Dart stated in a report: "A loss of Fed independence could lead to higher inflation, falling stock and long-term bond prices, and erosion of the dollar’s reserve currency status.
In contrast, gold is a store of value that does not rely on institutional trust." The Goldman Sachs report outlined a range of potential outcomes for gold prices, with a base case predicting gold surging to $4,000 per ounce by mid-2026, a so-called tail-risk scenario at $4,500, and a potential near-$5,000 level if 1% of private U.S. Treasury holdings flow into gold.
