How High Will Gold Climb?
American economist and renowned market strategist Ed Yardeni believes that tremendous bullishness in gold could be seen by the end of this decade. According to CNBC-TV18, Ed Yardeni, President of Yardeni Research, says that by 2029, gold prices could reach $10,000 per ounce. Currently, in the international market on New York's COMEX, gold prices are hovering around $4,400 per ounce. In the Indian market, at this pace—with a 127% rise by 2029—gold could cross ₹3.00 lakh. Ed Yardeni says that the role of gold in investment portfolios remains as important today. According to him, history shows that whenever a big rally has come in gold, it has often gone much further than people's expectations.
