Goldman Sachs has recently raised its year-end 2022, gold price target to $2500/oz, signaling a strong 2022 after gold prices ended 2021 down approximately 4%. Last year’s strong economic recovery and growth created conditions for the decline in gold, as investors moved to risk...

For the past month, gold has been consolidating within a tight range around $1850. The data suggests the next move is most likely up. It’s very possible that the jobs data in two weeks will be weak. This could give the Fed the cover needed to start rolling over, proving that th...
