Analysts at UBS project a negative outlook for gold in 2022, in the face of the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy normalization and softening inflation.

Key quotes

“Expect the Federal Reserve to withdraw monetary accommodation faster than some other major central banks in 2022 and this divergence in policy could prompt the US dollar to strengthen further.”

“Hold a negative view on gold against a backdrop of rising rates and a belief that inflation will fall.”
