After surging 67% last year, gold prices have climbed another 6% YTD, hitting a new all-time high, according to BOCI's research report. Purchases by central banks and insurers, coupled with capital shifting from cryptocurrencies to gold, are expected to further boost gold prices.

The recently escalated global geopolitical tensions and expectations of further US interest rate cuts made gold an increasingly attractive safe-haven investment.
