Key quotes

“Easy monetary policy and macro uncertainty favour gold investment demand.”

“We see gold coin demand picking up along with ETF and futures this year.”

“We see flight to safety investments attracting fund flows in gold. Silver looks underappreciated, with the gold-silver ratio above 110, leaving room for catch-up.”
