Citi Research has increased its three-month gold price target from $3,200 to $3,500 per ounce. This adjustment is driven by new gold purchasing activities by Chinese insurance companies, along with safe-haven flows amid tariff risks and market weakness.

Analysts at Citi suggest that the gold market currently faces an unusual physical supply shortage, necessitating a price increase to encourage holders to sell and stabilize the market.
