Gold markets broke again on Tuesday, reaching towards the $1850 level. We are going to go towards that $2000 target that I have been talking about.
Gold markets have broken higher during the trading session on Tuesday, reaching towards the $1850 level. By doing so, the market looks as if it is ready to continue going higher towards my target of 1850 for the short term, and the $2000 level over the longer term. I do believe that ultimately, we are looking at a scenario where the central bank easing of monetary policy will continue to be a major driver, and therefore it is obvious to me that precious metals should continue to climb.
With that being the case, I think that it is only a matter of time before we reach towards the $2000 level, but it may take a couple of months to get there. After all, that is a relatively significant move but with it being such a large, round, psychologically significant figure, I find it a bit difficult to believe that we wanted least to try to get there.
It is hard to imagine a scenario where central banks around the world change their overall attitude, so until that is the case, I do not really see an argument for gold falling for anything more than a quick dip. Those dips should continue to offer plenty of value, and I do think that a lot of traders are out there waiting for that to happen. I believe that the $1800 level right now is going to be the “floor” in this market, and therefore there would be plenty of buyers in that area that take advantage of “cheap gold.”
