Why gold prices could hit $3,000 despite volatility

Gold prices hit a record high of $2,947 this month

Gold prices likely won’t lose their shine, even after a 40%-plus run over the last 12 months.  

The SPDR Gold shares, or GLD, the largest exchange-traded fund backed by physical gold, saw the largest one-day inflow ever of $1.9 billion on Feb. 21, 2024. 

"We believe the demand is across the board. We see institutions either adding to or establishing long term strategic asset allocation type positions. We see individual investors doing the same. We see a certain amount of FOMO. There's a fear of missing out whenever the price gains momentum to the upside" George Milling-Stanley, Chief Gold Strategist at State Street Global Advisors, told FOX Business.

He highlights three longer-term growth drivers aligning for more gold gains this year.

WHY BANKS ARE FLYING GOLD BARS FROM LONDON TO NEW YORK

"We have continued very strong central bank buying for official reserves. This has been a feature of the last 15 years at the gold market, and it's been very important, ranging anywhere from 10% to 25% of total end-user demand in any given year. And I think that's very important support for the price whenever it's shown any sign of weakening", Milling-Stanley explained. "Central bank buying basically doubled in 2022 to more than 1000 metric tons," he added.
