Opinion & outlook on gold
Disclaimer
Undoubtedly, gold has gained a lot in value against all leading currencies since 2001. But will this upward trend continue? There is no easy answer. As with all financial instruments, there are many possible ways in which to approach the determination of a 'real' or 'fair' price of gold. Among other methods, people try to understand the gold price by means of Fundamental Analysis, the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) , or Technical Analysis (charting). Where the EHM is not much useful as a buy/sell-indicator (as the price is believed to already reflect all available information), Fundamental and Technical analysis might be able to give such indications. However, also in these sub-fields there are many different approaches and opinions by market participants. Since Technical Analysis is a particularly widespread field (by some even referred to as 'esoterics') we only give some links to more fundamentally oriented analyses below.
