Gold and silver are expected to rise further in 2024 amid expectations that the US Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates, according to UBS forecasts.

“We expect gold to be pushed higher by Fed easing. This also comes with a weak dollar,” said Johnny Teves, precious metals strategist at the investment bank, who expects the metal to reach $2,200 an ounce by the end of the year.
