That's according to Goldman Sachs, who said in a note on Friday that recent weakness in gold prices could be explained by the rotation towards value from defensive assets like gold and long term growth stocks.

'The US dollar weakens.' - Goldman expects the falling US dollar to continue trending lower into 2021, which should help support gold prices....3.
