China, with more than $3 trillion in foreign-currency reserves, plans to set up new funds to invest in precious metals.
China, which has just 1.6 percent of its reserves in gold, may invest more than $1 trillion in bullion, Pento said. âChina wants to be an international player, and they need to own more gold than they currently have.â
As developing countries accelerate purchases, gold may reach $2,000 an ounce this year, compared with a record of $1,569.80 today in New York, said Robert McEwen, the chief executive officer of producer U.S. Gold Corp. Euro Pacific Capitalâs Michael Pento, who correctly predicted goldâs highs for the past two years, forecasts a 2011 high of $1,600.
