So instead, my gold price forecast for 2020 will look at the primary factors that impact the gold market to determine if each is likely to push the price higher or lower this year. I’ll conclude with the probable prices I see based on those factors, as well as some long-term projections.Gold and the US dollar are inversely correlated about two-thirds of the time (when one rises the other tends to fall, and vice versa). While global investors do tend to move into the US dollar during periods of uncertainty, that move was muted last year despite, for example, the trade war with China. They instead moved into gold.
