Gold will trump 1980 record price average

[miningmx.com] -- THE gold price will surpass the 1980 record average of $614.50/oz this year and it could also breach last year’s 26-year high of $725, GFMS chairman Philip Klapwijk said in the precious metal consultancy’s Gold Survey 2007.

“Quite whether we’d then get close to the all-time high of $850 is more doubtful, but I’d certainly expect the upward price trend to continue on into 2008,” he said, adding the increase would be driven mainly by investment.

Investment dropped in 2006 compared to the previous year as the market adjusted to a more active buy and sell side rather than just buying, he said. Implied net investment fell 20% in 2006 to just under 400 tonnes.
upward price trend to continue into 2008“Continued weakness in the US dollar, ongoing geopolitical tensions and strong commodity prices, coupled with fundamental support appearing on price dips, continue to make the investment case for gold strong,” Klapwijk said.

“On this basis, GFMS expects investor interest in the yellow metal will persist for at least the medium term, providing essential fuel to the continued rally in the gold price that could see it reaching a new nominal high for the rally to date in the next 12 months.”
