Galaxy Securities: COMEX gold has the potential to hit $3,500 in the second half of the year


China Galaxy Securities released the outlook for major asset classes in the second half of 2025: (1) Gold: COMEX gold prices may steadily break through $3300 per ounce, with the possibility of even impacting $3500 per ounce in extreme risk scenarios. (2) Crude oil: If geopolitical tensions continue to escalate in the third quarter, along with transportation bottlenecks and the seasonal peak demand impact, it is not ruled out that WTI oil prices could reach $75 per barrel; in the fourth quarter, as demand weakens and OPEC+ resumes increasing supply, WTI oil prices are expected to return to around $60 per barrel.
