UBS analysts highlight gold's strategic importance as a portfolio hedge amid rising US Treasury yields, inflation, and geopolitical risks. Despite recent price dips due to Fed rate hikes and a strong dollar, UBS expects gold to benefit from sustained central bank purchases, especially by China, and a gradual shift away from the US dollar. They project gold prices could rise toward $5,000 per ounce by early 2027, supported by lower real interest rates and ongoing diversification trends. UBS recommends investors use price weakness as an opportunity to build long-term gold exposure for portfolio stability and inflation protection.
