NOTE: This isn’t new, it was out overnight
A couple of reports of the call from Jeffrie Currie, Goldman Sachs’s head of commodities research.
- “Once we get past this stalemate in Washington, precious metals are a slam dunk sell at that point,”
- “You have to argue that with significant recovery in the U.S., tapering of QE should put downward pressure on gold prices.”
- Has a target for gold prices next year at $1,050 an ounce
Currie and Ric Deverell, the head of commodities research at Credit Suisse AG, both said on a panel at the Commodities Week conference in London today that selling gold is their top recommendation for trading in raw materials in the next year.
