Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD seen averaging $1812 this year, $1785 in 2022 – Reuters poll
|Despite closing the week below the all-important 200-Daily Moving Average (DMA) at $1821, gold price recorded weekly gains, courtesy of the dovish Fed decision and escalating coronavirus concerns globally.
The findings of the latest Reuters poll of 38 analysts also back the case for a modesty rally in gold price this year, with the precious metal likely to benefit from rising inflation expectations as well.
However, gold price is likely to tick lower in 2022 amid a sustained global economic recovery and monetary policy normalization by global central banks.
