[Citigroup: Gold and silver may continue upward trends driven by cyclical and structural factors] According to a report by Golden Finance, Citigroup Research analyzed that gold and silver may continue their upward trends under the influence of cyclical and structural factors. Structural positive factors include concerns about U.S. debt, the dollar's status as a reserve currency, and the Federal Reserve's independence. Cyclical favorable factors include the persistent weakness in the U.S. labor market, worries about the impact of tariffs, and broader concerns about global economic growth. Due to strong demand in the solar photovoltaic market, silver remains in a state of ongoing physical shortage. Citigroup has raised its three-month forecast for gold from $3,800 per ounce to $4,000 per ounce, and for silver from $45.00 per ounce to $55.00 per ounce. (Jin10)
