金价暴跌之际，高盛“坚定看涨”

Core Viewpoint - Goldman Sachs analysts reaffirmed their target price of $4,900 per ounce for gold by the end of 2026, highlighting potential "upside risk" due to ongoing structural buying from central banks and high-net-worth individuals [1][7]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The current sell-off in the gold market is attributed to speculative position liquidations and spillover effects from the silver market, rather than a deterioration in fundamentals [1]. - Structural demand, characterized by "sticky" buying, remains strong from September to October, contrasting with the quick in-and-out nature of speculative funds [3]. Group 2: Sources of Structural Demand - Central banks are expected to show seasonal buying patterns, with purchases likely to rebound in September and October after a quiet summer [4]. - Gold ETFs are anticipated to see renewed inflows driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and diversification needs, alongside increased physical gold purchases from ultra-high-net-worth individuals [5]. Group 3: Price Impact and Investor Interest - Goldman Sachs' model indicates that a firm buying of 100 tons can lead to a price increase of 1.5%-2%, with a notable increase of 154 tons in August validating this model [6]. - The interest from institutional investors is rising, with many planning to increase gold allocations as part of their strategic portfolios, which presents significant "upside risk" to the $4,900 target price [8][10].
