HSBC analysts say gold prices have been limited recently by rising US Treasury yields and a stronger dollar, which increase the cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold. However, they expect gold to gain by the end of 2026 due to growing demand for portfolio diversification, central bank purchases, and steady ETF inflows. Gold's role as a safe haven and diversifier remains strong despite recent price moves that tracked equities during geopolitical tensions. HSBC maintains a bullish outlook on gold's medium- to long-term prospects amid ongoing global economic uncertainties and de-dollarization trends.
