Inflationary pressures in the US

Geopolitical risks associated with Iran and South America
The expectation of a decline in the US dollar

Continued de-hedging and

A decline in central bank sales are likely to exert upward pressure on gold prices.

That supply/demand balances across all commodities remain tight through at least next year

Analyst price estimates for 06, 07 and 08 have been raised from $525/oz to $650/oz, from $500/oz to $675/oz and from $500/oz to $600/oz, respectively.

The gold price estimate for the long term remains unchanged at $550/oz.
