Gold price today should be worth between $6,000 per ounce and $10,000 per ounce.

The gold price moved marginally lower Thursday morning, slipping $11.89 to $1,821.81 per ounce. The price of gold bounced back after disappointing retail sales data. The U.S. dollar weakened versus the euro and the yen while oil and copper prices declined 0.8% and 0.7%, respectively. Silver held near unchanged at $40.98 per ounce.

Despite yesterday’s gold price rally, long-time commodities investor Dennis Gartman noted that the yellow metal has made a series of lower highs thus far in September. Along with this bearish technical development, Gartman contended that gold could fall victim to further broad-based liquidation if financial markets continue to sell-off due to escalating sovereign debt issues in Europe.

In his daily Gartman Letter, he wrote that “Gold’s fortunes… seem to be waning at the moment…A move downward through $1802¬$1807 would likely set off a sizeable sum of stop loss orders. Caution… and we think rather extreme caution… is advised.”

Marc Faber, another well respected investor and market pundit, also appeared cautious on the short-term outlook for the gold price. In a recent interview with The Daily Ticker, Faber – author of the widely followed Gloom Boom & Doom Report – predicted that the price of gold is likely to remain quite volatile in the short-run.

Over the longer-term, however, Faber remained far more upbeat on the potential for higher gold prices. “Gold will be very well supported” in the coming years due to the continued debasement of fiat currencies – particularly the U.S. dollar and euro.

When compared to the amount of wealth created in emerging markets over the last decade and the increase in the global monetary base, the price of gold is “relatively low,” Faber contended. Although he did not provide a specific gold price target, Faber noted that “according to some statistics the gold price today should be worth between $6,000 per ounce and $10,000 per ounce.”

Gold edges up on weaker dollar, dovish U.S. Fed policy bets

 Gold edged higher on Monday, helped by a weaker dollar and expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will reiterate its dovish monetary policy stance this week. Spot gold was up by 0.1% at $1,943.58 per ounce. U.S. gold futures rose 0.1% to $1,950.10 per ounce. “Gold is firm on the basis that the Fed could adopt a further dovish message with respect to average inflation targeting,” said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK. “If you want to have a policy of average inflation targeting, you’re going to have to go into detail as to how you are going to arrive at that particular outcome.” The dollar retreated on Mond ay, bolstering gold’s appeal for investors holding other currencies, ahead of the Fed’s policy decision due on Wednesday. “If inflation forecasts remain at 2% or below, this could offer gold a tailwind as the zero-yielding metal thrives in a low-interest rate environment,” said FXTM analyst Lukman Otunuga.

Gold Price Futures (GC) Technical Analysis – Trader Reaction to Minor 50% Level at $1954.80 Sets the Tone

Image
  Gold futures closed lower on Thursday but up from its low of the session as investors battled a number of factors including U.S. economic data and outside market influences. Earlier in the session, gold fell over 1%, as positive economic data elevated hopes for a quick recovery while dampening the investment appeal of the precious metal. On Thursday, December Comex gold futures settled at $1937.40, down $11.60 or -0.60%. On the data front, a drop in U.S. jobless claims reported Thursday and positive manufacturing data reported earlier in the week are taking some shine off gold. A weaker Euro is also weighing on dollar-denominated gold by driving up thU.S. Dollar Index. U.S. weekly jobless claims fell below 1 million last week for the second time since the pandemic started, but did not signal a strong recovery in the labor market because the drop largely reflected a change in the methodology used to address seasonal fluctuations in data. Earlier in the week, a report s
