Morgan Stanley believes that after gold prices break through $4,450 per ounce, they are on track to surpass $5,000 by 2027 or even earlier. The bank stated that an improving macroeconomic environment is boosting demand for gold ETFs, as market expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes gradually fade and the U.S. dollar weakens.

Morgan Stanley forecasts that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady until 2026, but warns that upcoming U.S. inflation data and Federal Reserve officials’ remarks could exacerbate market volatility.
