Gold Prices Will Reach $7,000: Here’s The Timeline

McGlone has also predicted that after breaching the $2,300 mark, gold prices could hit the $7,000 threshold. He made the bold prediction in 2023 saying that the markets need to expect the return of Quantitative Easing (QE), which according to him favors gold more than the US dollar and the stock market.
The Commodity Strategist predicted that gold prices could reach the $7,000 mark next year in 2025. That’s a robust increase of 200% from its current price of $2,300. The return on investment (ROI) from 2024 to 2025 in the precious metal could be phenomenal if the forecast turns accurate.
In conclusion, gold is the most favored form of investment as both retail and institutional investors are flocking towards it. Another leg-up will make the asset the top most performing commodity of the year.
