Gold has broken $2,000 per Oz

Gold has crossed record psychological number of $2,000 per ounce on 27th Oct 2023. The recent war like situation in Middle East, and possibility of this war escalating has driven up the Gold prices to this record levels.

What is even more important, is that Gold has risen to these record levels, when US dollar is strong. Yes US dollar index is still at high levels, with USD index at a high level of 106, highest this year as money is getting out of riskier stocks and bonds, and getting into cash.

Just imagine, when Gold can do so well, even with a high US dollar index, what will happen when even USD index drops below 100. Gold will go ballistic and go all the way to $2,500 per ounce. 

Those who have been ignoring Gold, still have a chance to buy now as Gold will go even higher from current levels.

Gold dropped below $2,000

Gold which raised to $2,000 an oz, in February this year and stayed at above those levels since then has recently again dropped below $2,000 in past week.

This presents a wonderful chance to accumulate gold. 

Gold has crossed $1,900 Oz

Gold has quietly crossed $1,900 an oz, since the current year 2023 has started. Now Gold is very close to its all time high of $2,050 reached in March, last year immediately post Russia's war with Ukraine started. However last year's was a knee jerk reaction, but this year seems to be a more sustainable rally for Gold. 

In global currencies, outside US dollar, Gold has already sustainably crossed all time highs quietly.

Gold rises above $1,800 per ounce

Gold price has gone past another important technical level, which is $1800 per ounce today.  

This is because the interest rate increases will be moderated in the US as per Federal Reserve Bank of the US, and which in turn is due to inflation easing in the US. Why is inflation easing, is another topic.

However this is a positive for gold prices, and gold prices are now just $200 below the most important $2,000 per ounce levels. Once gold prices cross $2,000 per ounce levels, and if importantly this time it sticks or stabilizes around at $2,000 per ounce level (Previously in August 2020, and also in March 2022, gold prices had briefly crossed $2,000 these levels). That will be a new normal for gold.

That is a level at which gold prices would reach their historical peak levels, will stabilize and shoot up even higher to new levels never seen before.

Gold and Silver Break Above Important Technical Level

On Nov 9th, Gold moved above $1,700 per ounce, which is an important technical level. To be sure, Gold had reached up to $2,050 per ounce in late March of this year. Gold had similarly moved above $2,000 per ounce in Aug 2020. 

During the initial part of this century, Gold increased from around $240 per ounce in 2001, all the way to $1,900 per ounce in 2011, a 646% increase.

Same for Silver, which has already crossed above 3 month high levels of $22 per ounce, and is all set to cross $26 per ounce which was its highest ever level reached, in March this year.

Gold price is at Rs.1994.8 per gram

Gold price has been at Rs.1994.8 per gram for past 4 days, just short of Rs.2000 per gram.

However the Indian currency Rupee has strengthened during last 4 days ( due to large Coal India IPO which is bringing in a lot of foreign money rising the demand for Rupee thus strengthening this currency). Due to this strengthening of Rupee, further price increases in Gold measured in Rupees is getting hit or suppressed. Hence only if Rupee weakens after few days or few weeks because of noisy demand from exporters (Infosys, leading IT exporter is already crying that the strengthening of Rupee is hitting its profits and saying that strong Rupee will kill exports). We will continue to hear more such noise from exporters.

Like I have written before, every time Rupee strengthens, the exporters like Technology companies and Textile companies will start crying and make noises. Immediately the Reserve Bank of India will intervene and weaken the Rupee again. This cycling will continue.

So one point is clear. Rupee or for that matter no Asian Currency will strengthen. All Asian governments have only task, weaken their respective currencies and encourage exports to save jobs.

So given this fact, there is only one way route for Gold to go up and up.
