[Goldman Sachs: Surge in Demand for Gold Call Options May Amplify Price Volatility] BlockBeats News, August 22, Goldman Sachs analysts stated in a report that the surge in demand for gold call options has increased the risk of significant price volatility in gold. Analysts including Lina Thomas wrote in the report that the rise in gold call option trading volume has created a 'price amplification mechanism for bidirectional volatility in gold prices.' 'Therefore, we still believe that our forecast of gold reaching $4,900 per ounce by the end of 2026 faces significant upside risk, but the upward trend in gold prices also comes with greater bidirectional volatility.'
