In 2015, Barclays sees the price of the yellow metal averaging just $1,180.
As quoted in the market news:
Barclays bearish view on gold is linked to rising rates and the dollars strength. ‘Rising rates and a significantly stronger dollar present headwinds, which are set to overwhelm any seasonal strength in physical demand this year,’ said Barclays’ analyst Suki Cooper.
