Gold

Once the Sharia Gold Standard is adopted, it’s very likely 100 million Islamic gold investors in key Islamic countries like Bahrain, Qatar, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia will start aggressively buying gold investment products and this could push gold prices higher - a lot higher.

Three steps forward, two steps back. That’s the way new bull markets are always born so what can we expect about the ‘two steps back’ story? In this context we’ll look at some Fibonacci retracement numbers for gold, silver and the mining sector.

With the price of gold and silver coming down sharply, many investors are asking what the future price of gold will be. Although we do not pretend to have a crystal ball, we observe sufficient signals in the charts to suggest that the future price of gold points to $1,000/ozt as the most likely 2017 forecast.

Many people assumed that with Donald Trump winning the election that gold would rocket beyond $1400 yet gold has actually DROPPED since the election. With gold experts and analysts scratching their heads, we offer our opinion on what is going on with gold and how gold investors should position themselves moving forward.

I am of the opinion that the current level for gold, and gold and silver miners, is near enough to a bottom as to render the downside risk limited. This is a dip, so buy it; do not sit on the fence!

GAM, an investment firm with more than $119 billion in assets under management, says conditions are perfect for gold prices, comparing the market to a potential wildfire that is just waiting for the right spark.

One of the challenges of analyzing trends in the gold price and the gold market is the effect of fluctuating currency exchange rates on the price. What we think of as the "gold price" is really just the gold price measured in U.S. dollars. What is needed is a single metric to look at for a currency-neutral measure of the gold price that removes the effect of the U.S. dollar and I have identified a ratio that does just that and it reveals that one should maintain confidence that the gold bull market will continue, and not to be overly worried by the recent correction in the price of gold and mining stocks.
