Citi Expert: Gold Price Growth to Slow, Silver to Outperform

• Gold and silver reached record highs this year, but experts like Citi's Max Layton predict a slowdown in gold price growth due to weakening supporting factors.
• Citi forecasts a 50% chance of gold reaching $3,600-$3,800/ounce by late 2026, with lower probabilities for $5,000 (2026) and $6,000 (2027).
• Citi has shifted its gold outlook from neutral to bearish for the next 6-12 months, citing factors like potential US growth and tariff restructuring.
• Silver is expected to outperform gold in the next six months, with prices potentially reaching $62-$70/ounce due to supply shortages and strong industrial demand.
• Investors are increasingly turning to silver, copper, and aluminum over gold.
