Gold Correction Seen as Healthy Trend
Gold prices recently dropped more than 10% from January highs, but Wells Fargo analysts believe it is a natural market correction after a significant rally.
Prior to this pullback, gold surged over 30% above its 200-day moving average, making short-term profit-taking expected. However, this does not alter the long-term positive outlook.
Price Target Raised to $6,300
- Escalating geopolitical risks
- Increased financial market volatility
- Central banks continue to accumulate gold reserves
With these factors in mind, Wells Fargo has raised its 2026 gold price forecast to a range of $6,100 to $6,300 per ounce, implying more than 20% upside potential from current levels.
