Gold Price: The Next Phase Begins
According to the recent gold price predictions made by Katusa Research, gold is already looking forward to exploring new highs, breaching past the $4000 mark. The platform stated that if gold ends up matching its 2011 money supply ratio, it could easily surge to hit $4400 an ounce in due time.
