We blew thru to 1030$ today but now down to $1002. Could the days of 3 digit gold prices be gone?
Is $1000 the new bottom for gold?
- Thread starter peilthetraveler
- Start date
Gold will remain $950 or lower in the long run.

rallying on fears of an equity retreat. The risk is that stocks
will fall and people are hedging that by buying gold," he said. Asian stocks were up marginally on Tuesday. For a graphic on gold futures versus the S&P index click:

I guess thats what happens when you try to speed read thru stuff.

Inflation hawks, flight to safety camp, and and to a lesser extent jewelry demand are the drivers in gold. With global money machines running overtime it is hard to imagine inflation hawks not continuing to accumulate gold.
Many people expect a pullback in the equity markets to ignite the flight to safety camp, which historically it does, but keep in mind that higher stocks and a recovering economy are seen as inflationary as well.

We'll need to see gold stay above $1000 an ounce till close of the week before I'd join the bulls.
I'd personally short it at these levels. There are too many interests at work to keep gold above $1000 an ounce.
I do think oil will close the year above $100 a barrel on the demise of the dollar.
Market is all manipulated anyways. Wall St is nothing more than a giant slot machine.
