Duetsche Bank sees 2013 Gold at $2113,Silver at $44
Deutsche Bank increased its 2013 outlook on silver by 3% to $44/oz and its 2014 forecast by 11.1% to $40/oz.
According to a research report by the bank, gold forecast for 2013 raised by 3 percent to $2113 an ounce while the 2014 outlook was raised by 11.1% to $2,000/oz.
Next year, the price of gold could exceed $2,200/oz, it said.
Similarly, Deutsche Bank increased its 2013 outlook on silver by 3% to $44/oz and its 2014 forecast by 11.1% to $40/oz.
A major support for precious metal prices are the recent moves by central banks to expand their balance sheet, said the bank.
Since gold is often sought as a hedge against currency weakness and inflation at times of loose monetary policy, such moves tend to boost its appeal to investors.
"We believe central bank action to stimulate growth, avoid deflation and reduce systemic risk is unambiguously bullish for the precious metals sector and specifically gold," said Michael Lewis, a research analyst at Deutsche Bank.
"While we have targeted gold prices moving above $2,000/oz since the beginning of 2011, we believe the Fed's open-ended program of QE announced last month increases our confidence that a surge in the gold price above this level is only a matter of time," he added.
