Much maligned gold is set to stage a comeback as the dollar weakens, according to Pictet Wealth Management.

Bullion will climb to $1,320 an ounce by the end of the year, said currency strategist Luc Luyet, which compares with about $1,256 on Wednesday. While trade tensions haven’t yet provided much support, an escalation combined with a slide in the dollar could lift prices, Geneva-based Luyet said on Monday.
