The spot price of gold, a safe haven in global markets, has fallen from its historic peak of $5,500 to around $4,200 under the influence of the Fed's high interest rate policy and geopolitical tensions. Major investment bank Morgan Stanley has warned investors, stating that its $5,200 target for gold is becoming increasingly difficult.
In the precious metals front, where global markets are focusing, the balances are changing radically. Morgan Stanley, one of the world's leading investment banks, warned investors by stating that the long-discussed record targets for gold prices are becoming difficult.
GOLD RECORD TARGETS BECOME DIFFICULT
A striking analysis came from the major bank regarding gold, which investors have always turned to as a safe haven. Morgan Stanley announced that the previously predicted target of $5,200 per ounce for gold is now increasingly difficult. According to the bank, the biggest reason behind this weakness is the tight interest rate policy pursued by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed).
Expectations that the Fed will keep interest rates high for an extended period have increased the opportunity cost of holding gold, which yields no interest. Although the bank maintains its long-term optimism, it set one condition for a new rally to begin: Investment funds (ETFs) must once again strongly and massively turn to gold.
Current Status of Gold Ounce Price
- Last Year (June): $3,300
- Peak Period (January): $5,500 (Historical Record)
- Current Status: Around $4,200 (Decline continues due to geopolitical tensions and interest rate pressure)
BIG EXPLOSION IN SILVER
While gold follows a flat and pressured trend, the silver market is dazzling with its performance. At the beginning of 2025, silver was at $30 per ounce, but with a strong tailwind, it quickly recorded a massive rise and reached the $75 limit by early June.
$100 BARRIER MAY BE BROKEN BY 2030
This aggressive rise in silver has also caught the attention of major fund management companies and analysts. Analysts from BlackRock and JP Morgan predict that silver, driven by industrial demand and its potential to steal the spotlight from gold, could surpass the $100 per ounce level by 2030. The market expectation for the end of the year is shaped around $80 and above.
CRITICAL WARNING FROM EXPERTS
While analysts acknowledge that the high profit potential offered by silver is exciting, they emphasize that the silver market, by its nature, carries sharp decline risks (volatility), and therefore investors should be cautious.
