How far can gold prices go?

In the year 2020, we can see the price of gold up to Rs 53,000 per 10 grams. There are several factors at the moment that give emphasis to this notion. Such as the reduction in policy rates by central banks around the world, indicating that the economy is in a deep recession and gold is known as an alternative to safe investment. Investors’ trend has also increased in gold amid a steep fall in the stock market. Which has boosted the demand. Heavy buying by Gold ETFs is a direct sign of this.
