XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

DG365FD46564GFH654FU898 UBS reduced its 1-month and 3-month gold and silver price targets to reflect the recent decline in the precious metals. For gold , the firm lowered its 1-month forecast by 9.0% to $1,775 per ounce and its 3-month by 7.1% to $1,950 per ounce. UBS also cut its 1-month silver estimate by 30.4% to $32.00 per ounce and its 3-month target by 30.0% to $35.00 per ounce. In a note to clients, UBS analysts wrote that "Our core bullish view on gold remains unchanged and the light nature of [speculative] positioning is a big positive, but our previous one-and three-month [prices]…are overly ambitious given the recent slowdown in market momentum." "The 'clean' nature of current spec positions, along with physical and long-term demand, is creating a very healthy foundation for gold to climb from,” the firm added.
