Market recovery seen for Gold - Johannesburg - GFMS, the metals consultancy, says investors will drive gold through $670/oz in the first half of 2007 as they pile into the yellow metal.
"We should be seeing prices getting in the $670s in the first half, although it is less certain we will see the recent high of $725 surpassed," said chief executive, Paul Walker, in Toronto at the release of the second update to the consultancy's Gold Survey 2006 report.
Walker adds that the 25-year high achieved in the second quarter last year could still be surpassed further into the year, or possibly in 2008, "especially if the situation in the Middle East deteriorates significantly, driving oil prices higher". End quote.
