[BNP Paribas Strategy Chief Predicts Gold Prices May Rise to $6,000 This Year] BNP Paribas Head of Commodity Strategy, Wilson, stated that due to macroeconomic and geopolitical risks, gold prices could rise to $6,000 per ounce by the end of the year, with the gold-silver ratio expected to increase. He noted that although the gold-silver ratio is below the average level of the past two years, it has already rebounded. The rise in gold is logical, as silver has weaker hedging capabilities. Additionally, the outlook for gold is further supported by continued purchases from central banks worldwide.
