Is Gold Headed Higher?

Is the Gold price headed higher? 

Probably yes! According to the chairman of the World Gold Council Randall Oliphant, the world is reaching peak gold output and may have already produced the most gold in a year it ever will. Production is likely to plateau at best, before slowly declining as demand rises, especially given global political risks and robust purchases by consumers in India and China.

How far it can go?

Prices could climb to as high as $1,400 an ounce in the next 12 months, and top record highs in the “medium term,” Oliphant said at the Denver Gold Forum, the 28th annual gathering of mining executives, hedge funds, bankers and analysts that attracted about 1,100 attendees.
Gold futures in New York settled at $1,311.50 on Monday and reached a record $1,923.70 in 2011.

What do the technical charts say?

Despite the steep two-week sell-off, the main trend of the Gold is up according to the weekly swing chart. A trade through $1362.40 will signal a resumption of the uptrend. The major long-term 50% to 61.8% retracement zone is $1298.10 to $1267.90. The market is currently testing this zone.

What are Inverse ETFs?

We all know Mutual Funds, but what are inverse ETFs or Inverse Mutual Funds all about?  They are a special type of funds in which the value goes up when the stock market comes down. They are nothing but "short funds" or ETFs - funds having short positions of the index or stocks. By investing in this fund investors/traders can take advantage of fall in the markets. The main objective of the such products is to provide investors with an alternative during market-decline and in the case where they cannot short sell the index. This type of fund is generally linked to the market index such as the  Nifty 50 Total Returns Inverse Index.  The value of such funds change similar to the traditional funds, on a daily basis, say if the index declines by 1 percent in a day, the fund value increases by 1 percent for that day. How does these funds benefit retail investors or traders? Many investors,rather traders, can make use of this type of fund as a hedge against market conditions.Hedg
