ING reports that gold has risen almost 20% since early November, helped by a weaker dollar and bets on smaller Fed rate hikes. The bank has slightly raised its 2023 price outlook, citing the faster-than-expected policy pivot and returning Chinese demand after Beijing ended its zero-Covid strategy.
A weaker dollar and easing rate expectations support dollar-priced commodities, while China's reopening points to firmer demand for commodities more broadly.
