Citi said it expects the gold price to reach US$3,000 per ounce in the next 6-18 months as capital inflows into gold advanced in anticipation of an eventual interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

Citi raised its forecast for this year's average gold price to US$2,350 per ounce and raised next year's average price by a whopping 40% to US$2,875 per ounce.
