Goldman Sachs lifts gold price forecast to $1,000/oz. GDX, AUY, SLW, TNR.v, RMK.v, KTN.v, SBB.v, OK.v, SST.v, MGN
at 3:04 PMSINGAPORE (Reuters) - Investment bank Goldman Sachs raised its forecast for the price of gold to reach $1,000 an ounce in the next three months from its previous forecast of $700 due to rising investor demand for safe haven assets.
"The gold price rally has been driven by surging demand for gold in all forms: physical gold, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and futures contracts as investors seek 'a safe store of value' amid the financial distress and inflation risks," it said in a report.
It also noted that a strong relationship betwween the price of gold in U.S. dollars and the exchange rate of the dollar against other currencies has begun to break down. Gold was trading at $903.15 an ounce by 0038 GMT, down $1.70 from New York's notional close.
