Gold Lost Ground Today but Bill Peerson at Accredited FX is Confident of $2000 p/oz by Year end.

Oct. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- The yellow metal has not had an easy time in the last few days but the lower price available as a result of profit taking and technical selling now presents an important opportunity for savvy investors to get involved in gold at a better price.

Bill Peerson, a Senior Broker at Accredited FX in Costa Rica says "We saw a six-week low today mostly due to an overall bearish attitude to the markets combined with a slew of technical selling. When we add the increase in the U.S. dollar index and the decline in crude oil there was a perfect recipe for gold to decline but frankly this pleases me. In essence we have an opportunity to buy cheaper and that can only be good."

Bill who has been working at Accredited FX for many years goes on to say "I have been profiting from gold in good and bad times and our firm made some heavy purchases today amidst the selling."

European stocks were also under pressure due to new worries that Spain may be in a worse financial position than first expected. This caused bond yields issued by the Spanish government to rise when the central bank announced that the economy in Spain has contracted by 1.7% in the 3rd quarter compared to a 1.3% contraction in the 2nd quarter. There are also worries that Spain may not be capable to meet its debt obligations. The Euro also declined on this news.

Nothing of any great relevance is expected from the Federal Open Market Committee meeting which is underway and ends on Wednesday afternoon. Bernanke however is expected to make the announcement that he will not run for another term as the governor of the Fed.
