Gold Rates Prediction:

As per Sourav Choudhary, MD, Raghunath Capital, Gold continues to remain one of the most closely watched asset classes in the global financial markets. Over the past year, prices have demonstrated remarkable resilience despite volatility in interest rates, currency markets, and geopolitical developments.

Explaining further, the expert said that globally, central banks have been consistent net buyers of gold, adding significant quantities to their reserves as part of a broader diversification strategy. Persistent geopolitical tensions, elevated sovereign debt levels across major economies, and structural inflationary pressures have strengthened gold's appeal as a defensive asset.

Against this backdrop, the broader trend in gold remains constructive, supported by macroeconomic uncertainty and long-term currency concerns.

In his opinion, the bullish case for gold appears even stronger when viewed through the lens of structural shifts in global trade and currency dynamics.

Furthermore, Choudhary added that there there is a high probability that gold prices could move significantly higher as the dominance of the US dollar in global trade gradually declines. A growing number of nations have started reducing their reliance on the dollar for bilateral trade, increasingly settling transactions in local currencies. The global financial system seems to be transitioning toward a multi-currency framework.

Additionally, Choudhary said, "In my assessment, gold has the potential to move toward the $10,000 mark over the next two years - nearly doubling from current levels. While such projections may appear ambitious, structural changes in global trade settlement systems, continued central bank accumulation, geopolitical fragmentation, and long-term currency debasement support this outlook."
