The previous value of $1,923 from September 2011 was shortly after surpassed again in more than $40, and thanks to that Goldman Sachs adjusted the target price for gold. According to predictions, gold could attack levels of $2,300 in 12 upcoming months. The price is $300 higher than the current target price set by the American bank.
