'We still like gold at these levels': Prices can move another $500 by end of next year - Wells Fargo
(Kitco News) Gold has been on a sprint since last year, breaking all kinds of residence levels, including $1,300, $1,400, $1,500, $1,600, $1,700 and now $1,800 an ounce. And for those wondering whether it is too late to get in, Wells Fargo has a reassuring answer: "We still like gold at these levels."
Gold is currently trading at fresh nine-year highs at above $1,820 an ounce. August Comex gold was last seen at $1,827.40, up 0.97% on the day.
"In May 2019, gold finally and definitively broke above the $1,300 per ounce resistance level—after six years of trying. In the year since that time, gold has made comparably quick work of the next major resistance levels," wrote Wells Faro investment strategy analyst Austin Pickle. "With our 2020 year- end target of $1,800-$1,900, we have been asked whether we still like gold at these levels. The short answer is a resounding, 'yes'."
The reason for that is that Wells Fargo sees gold rising all the way up to $2,200 - $2,300 by the end of next year, which means there is still a lot of upside potential — up to $500 worth to be precise.
