Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s Jeffrey Currie says the worst isn’t over yet for gold after prices erased almost all of this year’s gain.
“Risks are significantly skewed to the downside,” said Currie, who told investors to sell last year before gold’s biggest collapse since 1980. “Much of the support was coming from political uncertainty in Ukraine and what was going on in Middle East,” and those concerns have faded, he said in a telephone interview yesterday.
After bullion’s rally in the first half of the year beat gains for commodities, equities and Treasuries, the metal is heading for its first quarterly decline in 2014. Demand for precious metals as a protection of wealth has been eroded by the outlook for a strengthening U.S. economy, which helped spark a rally in the dollar as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of equities surged to a record this month.
