Nicky Shiels, the head of metals strategy at MKS PAMP, has revised the gold price forecast upward for 2024, sparking curious inquiries from the market on whether gold could mimic the recent explosive price surge seen in cocoa. Cocoa prices skyrocketed, doubling due to poor harvests in major producing countries, Ivory Coast and Ghana. This comparison arises as gold, despite its broader market and liquidity, achieved record highs in five consecutive trading sessions. Investors are increasingly drawn to gold, viewing it as a reliable asset for wealth preservation amidst uncertainties.
