What will the price of gold be at the end of August, 2008?

Settled as Gold price between $800.01 and $850.00 inclusive

Settled as "Between $800.01 and $850.00" as gold closed on 8/29 at $832.00

Background:

At their annual meeting in Toronto, during a question and answer session on May 20, 2008, Kevin McArthur, President and CEO of Goldcorp stated that he was certain that investors would soon see 4-digit gold prices again (as gold prices climbed above $1,000 per ounce in March). In the last month there have been several articles written that have predicted a strong rise in the price of gold, even though in the last couple of weeks there has been a decline in the price of gold. Since mid-July gold has declined from $986 per ounce (London Fix) to close the month at $918 per ounce, a decline of $68 per ounce (7 %).

In their recent Gold Commodity Update, Citigroup's metals analysts John H. Hill and Graham Wark predicted that gold is likely to again exceed $1,000 per ounce at the end of 2008, and to climb even higher through 2009-2010. These analysts stated that supply and demand factors favor gold during the second half of 2008.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
