International gold prices surpassed the $2,000 mark per ounce for the first time on the 4th (local time).

Amid the economic downturn caused by the Corona 19 crisis, concerns over the weakening of the dollar are also predicted to rise to the middle of the $2,000 mark or up to $3,000.

On the New York Mercantile Exchange day, the December delivery amount ended at 2,021 dollars, up 1.7% per ounce ($34.70) from the previous day.

This is the first time that gold has surpassed $2,000 per ounce based on the closing price.

It broke through the $1,900 as well as the $2,000 mark in a week after breaking the 9-year-old record of $1,891.90 per ounce on August 22, 2011.

As the coronal 19 pandemic prolonged, economic uncertainty increased, demand for gold, a representative safety asset, exploded, raising prices by more than 30% this year alone.

It is analyzed that the recent US dollar rebound has been stagnant and that the yield of US Treasury bonds has decreased.

In particular, the observation is that discussions of additional economic stimulus measures by the US government to alleviate the economic impact of the Corona19 will lead to a decrease in dollar value.

The White House, Republicans and Democrats haven't narrowed their views yet, but the talks are getting longer, but it's about the fact that everyone agrees on the need for further stimulus, which means that more dollars are released on the market, which can increase the value of gold's assets relatively.

Reuters reported that the hope that Washington's list would approve more economic stimulus is fanning gold.

"Gold and U.S. Treasuries are doing well, everything is due to a decline in dollar value," said Reperage, North American macro strategy manager at State Street Global Market, a securities firm.

Market watch interpreted the gold price of $2,000 today as a sign that investors are concerned about the possibility of inflation in the future.

Christopher Rooney of RBC, a financial company, predicted to Market Watch that "uncertainty has increased amid rising crises and geopolitical tensions," and that gold will continue to play a role as a "safe haven."

There are many views that there is ample room for future gold price outlook.

Goldman Sachs Group predicted $2,300, Bank of America (BofA) Securities' Michael Widner estimated $2,500 to $3,000, and RBC Capital Markets $3,000, respectively.

"It seems that central banks will continue to buy gold to support the rise in gold prices," said Widner, citing cases where central banks' buying of gold raised their gold prices during the global financial crisis in 2009.
