does anyone think it will increase further to maybe 2000 euros per oz?
Manipulate downwards, you mean?
Going long or shorting can both be profitable .
Yes the paper gold market is detached from the physical market right now. A spike in gold price above 2,000 is possible. But that is all it will be a spike before crashing back down. Gold does not produce an income and needs to be sold off for fiat for one to live .
Also once a vaccine is found and things return back to some sort of normality in 2021 and beyond, people who are inherently stupid in general, will cash in any gold gains and go back into income producing assets. Gold may fall below 1,100 mark in that scenario.
Hmm, this time (I need to point out it is the first time ) I have to disagree with you Martin!Gold does not produce an income and needs to be sold off for fiat for one to live .
The largest gold owner in the world
The largest gold owner worldwide is neither the billionaire Warren Buffet nor Dagobert Duck. They are the world's central banks. Yes, you read correctly. Those who print paper money and publicly denigrate gold on almost every occasion have even the greatest gold treasure in their safes. Why this? The central banks apparently no longer trust their own product - paper money!
According to me, it will take more than a year to hit that priceI can see that the gold price has risen a lot in recent months, in fact by almost 150 euros per oz so it is now at around 1575 euros - does anyone think it will increase further to maybe 2000 euros per oz?
today I agree - it is swapping between 1550 and 1610 for some time.. but rising slowly towards the 2k mark.According to me, it will take more than a year to hit that price
