CPM Trade Signal - March 5, 2026 teaser image

CPM Gold Trade Recommendation

Time Stamp

Prices as of 4:39 p.m. EST 5 March 2026 $5,088.90 (Basis the April 2026 Comex contract). 

Recommendation: Buy

Initial Target Price / Range: $5,400

Initial Timeframe: 6 March 2026 to 13 March 2026

Stop Loss: $4,980 

Following the attack on Iran on Saturday 28 February CPM reversed its 27 February expectation that gold prices might soften early this week, and renewed our projection of a spike to $5,400. That price was pierced the following trading day, Monday 2 March. Gold backed down after that initial reaction, but has traded above $5,000 over the succeeding four trading days. 

CPM expects gold prices to remain high over the next week given the enormous range of enormous problems confronting the world.

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.

While short-term trade recommendations provide high risk – high reward opportunities for investors, it is difficult to capture the complex web of factors affecting precious metals prices and the nuanced CPM analyses of these factors that goes into our firm’s price projections. In addition to these short-term outlooks, CPM Group provides clients enhanced trade recommendations that include one and three month price projections, as part of our Retail Investor Program. Contact CPM at info@cpmgroup.com for details.

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.
