Citigroup has revised its short-term gold price target to $3,800, down from $4,000, according to a report from the Zhuifeng Trading Desk. The bank identifies the 100-day moving average of $3,600 as a critical support level. This adjustment reflects easing geopolitical risks and potential selling pressure from significant unrealized gains. Additionally, the prospect of resolving the US government shutdown has contributed to the shift in gold's price momentum. Despite the bearish short-term outlook, Citigroup maintains that gold remains a valuable long-term strategic hedge. The bank highlights the Federal Reserve's policy direction and the US economy's performance as crucial factors influencing gold's potential rebound.
