The bank has raised its **long-term gold price forecast by almost 80% to $3,850 per ounce**, suggesting that investors are seeking assets **more resilient than government-backed currencies** amid shifting monetary conditions.\n\nThe investment bank says a **new monetary “paradigm”** is taking hold, in which confidence in fiat currencies is weakening and gold’s appeal as a store of value and a **hedge against systemic risk** is strengthening.\n\nGold hit an **all-time high of $4,381.21 per ounce on Monday**, more than **60% higher than at the start of the year**, before retreating.\n\nIt is currently trading around[ $4,113.48 per ounce](https://goldprice.org/live-gold-price.html), after a sharp pullback earlier this week.\n\nThe record inflows underline the continued appeal of gold as:\n\n-\n**A hedge against inflation**\n\n-\n**A buffer against geopolitical risk**\n\n-\n**A defensive asset amid uncertainty in equities and bonds**\n\nDespite the recent price dip, investor appetite for gold remains **exceptionally strong**, with analysts suggesting that the metal is likely to stay well-supported so long as **interest rate expectations soften** and **macro risks remain elevated**."}
