Gold Heading To $1,400 This Year: US Global's CEO - Kitco News

Published on 18 Feb 2014 | Kitco News speaks with US Global Investors' CEO Frank Holmes about gold's price movements last week and where he expects the yellow metal is headed. "Now with gold going above the 200-day, there's a sentiment of relief and it is positive," he says. However, Holmes says that this does not mean investors are 'runaway bullish' on gold just yet. Holmes is optimistic about gold's direction, stating that one of the major headwinds for the metal last year will probably soften in 2014. "One of the big headwinds last year in government policies was CPI numbers fell and interest rates for government bonds went up...that was a big headwind for gold," he says. "I think you'll see that change this year; you're going to see CPI numbers start to rise and lots of capacity in the economy means rates are not going to rise; so, we'll probably see a negative real rate of return which would take gold up to around $1,400 an ounce."

CPM Called Jan. Gold Target, Now Eyes $1,320 in March

Published on Jan 29, 2014 | Kitco News' Commodities Confidential is back with CPM's Jeff Christian talking about gold and some factors that led to higher prices in January. Earlier this month, CPM said gold prices could reach $1,280 while prices could go even higher by early-Feb or late March. "We do think we will see $1,320 but it's probably more likely late March than early February," he says. Looking over at emerging markets, Christian says monetary authorities are suggesting higher interest rates in EM nations in order to support tumbling currencies. "I'm not really sure that solves the problem," he says. Christian adds that the issues in emerging economies will unlikely lead to a 'full blown crisis.' Christian also discusses cash crunch concerns in China and the future of Indian gold import restrictions. Tune in now for a more in-depth look into the gold market with Jeffrey Christian. Kitco News

Published on Aug 18, 2011 by Euronews - The world financial markets have again been taking a beating due to renewed worries about recession and Europe's debt crisis. European bourses suffered their biggest daily fall in two and a half years - with the top 300 shares down five percent at the close.

Gold Hits New Record After Chavez Announces Plan To Pull Reserves From US, European Banks

Thursday, August 18, 2011

Despite a report from the World Gold Council showing that demand for the precious metal has subsided, gold soared to a new record high today on the back of another stock market plunge and an announcement from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez that the country’s gold mining industry would be nationalized.

Gold touched a new record high of around $1827 dollars an ounce as the Dow Jones plunged by 500 points in early trading.

Gold soared to new heights even in the face of aWorld Gold Council report that said demand was down 37% year on year.

However, the report noted that there was “increasing acceptance of higher price levels” globally, which explained a modest 3% fall in recycling gold on the supply side.

Although today’s new high for gold is obviously being driven by a flight to safety as the stock market crumbles, Hugo Chavez’s announcement last night that he was to nationalize the country’s gold mining industry undoubtedly has had an impact on today’s trading.

Gold, Silver Set Record High on China Buying Bets

Commodities – Metals

Spot Gold (NY Close): $1506.85 // +0.60 // +0.04%

Prices gapped higher through resistance at $1508.95, the 200% Fibonacci extension of the 3/7-3/15 downswing, to challenge the top of a rising channel in place since mid-March. A break above this boundary exposes the 238.2% Fib at $1533.44. The 200% Fib level has been recast as near-term support.

Precious metal prices soared in overnight trade following a report from Century Magazine that claimed China plans to invest some of its more than $3 trillion in FX reserves in various assets including energy and precious metals. PBOC chief ZhouXiaochuan has said the current build-up has exceeded “reasonable” levels, while independent reports have pegged the “right” amount of FX reserves for China at no more than $1.3 trillion.

Spot Silver (NY Close): $47.25 // +0.65 // +1.40%

Prices gapped above resistance at the top of a rising channel in place since late January, setting a new record high at $49.78. The metal is now in uncharted territory, making forecasting decidedly difficult, but deeply overbought relative strength studies suggest the threat of reversal is increasingly high. The channel top, now at $46.91, stands as near-term support.

The short-term directional correlation between gold and silver remains firm, suggesting the two metals will continue to move along the same trajectory. The gold/silver ratio has set a new record low however, meaning the cheaper metal is likely to continue outperforming its more expensive counterpart.

Back Toward the Gold Standard?

World Bank President Supports New Gold Standard :

Robert Zoellick, the president of the World Bank writes:

“The system should also consider employing gold as an international reference point of market expectations about inflation, deflation and future currency values.”

That could ignite a firestorm of controversy between economists who see a gold standard as a global stabilizer and those who see it as a job and growth-killer. What could invite more consensus is Zoellick’s call to reengineer the global financial architecture.

“The development of a monetary system to succeed ‘Bretton Woods II’ launched in 1971, will take time. But we need to begin. The scope of the changes since 1971 certainly matches those between 1945 and 1971 that prompted the shift from Bretton Woods I to II.”
