GOLD SEEN AT $5,000 AS ING FLAGS POLICY DRIVERS AND IRAN RISK Gold could reach $5,000 by year-end despite volatility tied to U.S.-Iran peace prospects, according to ING analysts. They say short-term moves remain driven by macro factors like real yields, the dollar, and Federal Reserve expectations, but easing headwinds should restore underlying support. A lasting resolution to the Iran conflict is seen as a key trigger for sustained gains. Markets are now focused on Tuesday’s U.S. CPI data for rate outlook clues.
