    Gold Prices To reach 2000 US$ per Troy Ounce in 2014

    Gold has its worst year of 2013 compared to last the decade. A simple theory is how fast it came down, the same speed it will go up. By ignoring this face, by looking at the production cost statistics from gold miners, it ranges around 1250 US$ per troy ounce. If Gold prices falls below 1200 and stays for a while, miners will suffer a great loss which in turn will reduce their production capacity. When production capacity goes down, there will be strong supply shortage of gold. Since there is strong physical and investment demand for Gold in the entire world, supply shortage will push up the price like anything which I could anticipate Gold price can reach easily 2000 US$ by end of this year in 2014.
