Gold may extend a rally through to the end of December, paring the first full-year loss since 2000, as rising physical demand across Asia helps to counter a selloff in exchange-traded products led by billionaire John Paulson.
Prices may reach $1,450 an ounce by the end of the year, according to a median of estimates in a survey of 11 traders, jewelers and analysts who attended the India Gold Convention in Jaipur on Aug. 16-17. The metal, which was at $1,373.97 today, fell 18 percent this year.
