Claim 1: “Michael Hsueh, a precious metals analyst at Deutsche Bank Research... has observed that stable, inelastic buyers such as central banks have pushed out more price-sensitive 'elastic' customers, including private buyers such as jewelry purchasers.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While Michael Hsueh of Deutsche Bank Research is identified in the evidence and his views on gold as a store of value for reserve managers are mentioned, the specific phrasing regarding 'inelastic buyers pushing out elastic customers' is not explicitly corroborated across multiple independent sources in the provided text.

Claim 2: “Since 2020, the price of gold has risen from $1,585 per ounce to more than $4,500 per ounce.”
DISPUTED
The claim states gold rose to more than $4,500 per ounce. However, the provided live evidence from a web search result mentions gold trading around $4,020 an ounce (which is still below $4,500) and another source mentions a target that it 'could climb to $6,000 per ounce in 2026', implying it has not reached $4,500 yet. The specific claim of it already being over $4,500 is contradicted by the current spot price evidence provided ($4,020).
