Published ・ Source Taiwan | 鉅亨網

高盛 analyzed why gold fell below 4,000 US dollars, noting that large position holders accelerated selling to meet liquidity needs, with cumulative selling pressure of 19.5 billion US dollars over five weeks. Although it sees a short-term drop toward 3,850 US dollars, its long-term target price remains 5,400 US dollars.

  • From Oct. 20 to 27, managed money, "Other" and "Non-reportable" categories combined sold 8 billion US dollars of gold positions, marking the fifth consecutive week of bearish fund outflows.
