NEW YORK (Scrap Register): Despite having an overall bearish outlook on gold prices for 2015, Barclays said that they are somewhat bullish in the short-term given the uncertainty in the marketplace.
“Unexpected break above the 1238 December range highs has compelled to pare back our bearish view in the short-term as safe-haven flow signals scope for a move higher in range,” Barclays said. “Risk is for a rally extension
towards a cluster of resistance in the 1330 area where we would look for signs of a top."
However, their long-term view on gold remains bearish and Barclays expects the metal to move back towards the range lows near 1131 and adding that a breach of that level would lead gold prices near the $1,090 level.
Barclays believes the gold rally is likely to lose steam without a change in sentiment and wider investor support.
