Deutsche Bank cut its gold forecasts by as much as 22%, citing tighter Fed
pricing and fading investment demand. Analyst Michael Hsueh now sees Q3 gold at
$4,300/oz (down >20% from prior), Q4 at $4,800/oz (down 17%); current spot is
about $4,110/oz. The move follows Goldman Sachs’ reduction of its year‑end
target by $500 to $4,900/oz. Deutsche Bank says resilient US macro data and Fed
repricing are the main downward drivers; its Q4 target assumes the Fed holds
rates, but three to four rate hikes could push gold toward roughly $3,800/oz.
Continued ETF outflows point to waning investment support; central bank buying
remains the lone firm pillar and is expected to persist for some time.
