Standard Chartered [says]: "Three Factors Will Drive Gold To $5,000"

"Following less than parabolic moves higher in the precious metals complex over the past several weeks has extinguished some of the fervor in the space, which of course is welcome: a slow, gradual increase which does not provoke the CME's attention is far better for the boiling free than a sudden surge in prices. Yet the recent period of stability may soon be over. Standard Chartered has just released a report which looks at actual gold breakeven prices, production bottlenecks, central bank interest, and Chinese and Indian buying, and comes to the conclusion that $5,000 gold may just be a matter of time. To wit: "The limited supply comes at a time when central banks have completely changed their tune on selling down their gold stocks and now appear likely to accelerate their net buying programmes. China is way behind the curve. Currently, only 1.8% of China�s foreign exchange reserves is in gold; if the country were to bring this proportion in line with the global average of 11%, it would have to buy 6,000 more tonnes of gold, equivalent to more than 2 years of gold production. We believe that these factors � limited gold production, buying by central banks and increasing demand from India and China � can potentially drive the gold price to US$5,000/oz, as highlighted in our commodity team�s earlier report." And what according to Std. Chartered is the best way to capitalize on this undervaluation: "We believe the best ways to invest in the gold cycle are buying physical gold (a safe asset) or investing in junior gold miners (highest leverage to the gold price) that are 1-2 years away from production." Perhaps the current price 66% lower is therefore not a bad entry point...
