Group Wealth Management, Senior Investment Strategist, Manpreet Gill said gold prices are expected to rise at a gradual pace this year.

"The introduction of many easing measures by global central banks has increased the purchases of gold further.

"We expect the demand for gold to be supportive in the first quarter of this year, although the global recovery is expected to happen only in the second half," he told a media briefing on market outlook.

The bank projected the precious commodity's price to touch US$1,900 per ounce this year, with some softness in the market in the short-term while long-term drivers remained intact.
