Gold May Settle After This Flareup


Gold soared to fresh 27-year highs overnight. In Hong Kong and London, gold rocketed up a staggering $15 and currently trades around $822 for immediate delivery.
Analysts at UBS upgraded their one-month forecast to $850. “With the two external drivers of gold, a weak dollar and strong oil, together conspiring to lift the metal higher,” said UBS analyst Robin Bhar, “we are now in range of a move to the all-time nominal high.”
But what then? “Assuming that $850 trades,” says Bahr, “a scramble for upside could see gold push higher still. But one thing is sure, once the dust settles, gold will likely correct sharply lower.” UBS’ three-month forecast for gold remains the same -- $750.
