Gold prices could be in store for the “mother of all short-covering” rallies, said one analyst, citing CFTC short positioning and the yellow metal’s strength in the face of higher U.S. dollar.
Even $1,500 is not out of the realm of possibilities, according to ThinkMarkets chief market analyst Naeem Aslam, who sees the latest CFTC data as a positive sign for gold prices.
“The recent CFTC data showed that hedge funds have decided that it is about time for them to start scaling back from their short position. This sends a strong bullish signal for the metal,” Naeem Aslam wrote in a report which was published on Monday.
KEFI Minerals (LON:KEFI) is focused primarily on the advanced Tulu Kapi Gold Project development project in Ethiopia, along with its pipeline of other projects within the highly prospective Arabian-Nubian Shield. KEFI targets that production at Tulu Kapi generates cash flows for capital repayments, further exploration and expansion as warranted and, when appropriate, dividends to shareholders.
