Prices as of 4:21 p.m. EST 23 January 2024 $2,029.60 (Basis the February 2024 Comex contract).

Initial Target Price / Range: $2,010
Initial Timeframe: 23 January 2024 to 6 February 2024
Gold prices recently bottomed out at $2,004.60 on 17 January, falling below CPM Group’s last sell recommendation target of $2,010. Prices tested support the following day before recovering above $2,020 in the ensuing days. The roll of the February Comex contract into forward futures contracts is likely helping to keep gold prices from falling too much. A continued appreciating U.S. dollar and rising U.S. yields also will suggest lower gold prices. Prices are expected to retest $2,010 with the potential to break below $2,000 shortly thereafter.
CPM has one-month, three-month ranges and eight-quarter quarterly price projections with greater discussion of the factors behind CPM’s analyses provided in CPM’s monthly subscription service, the Precious Metals Advisory.

Notes:
Initial Target Prices and Timeframes are just that: Initial. If CPM does not issue a new Recommendation during or after that time it indicates that CPM maintains the posture in the most recent Trade Recommendation. Position may be closed out once target price is reached, within the noted discretion or until CPM provides new trade recommendation. CPM may have reported to have closed out of prior trade recommendation at its discretion before publicly publishing new trade recommendation due to processing time.
Discretion should be allowed at +/- 0.20% of the price at the time each TR is issued from the target.
CPM’s preferred investment strategies use physical, futures, forwards, and options.
