Using simple math to calculate the forecast 2089 (high) minus 1045 (december 2015 low) = 1044 + 1673 (recent low in March 2021) = 2717 USD. 

In conclusion, gold upside in this secular bull market for commodities continued on the backdrop of a possible proxy geopolitical war of Russia Ukraine and China Taiwan, both Russia and China view Ukraine and Taiwan as their national security and terms set out for peaceful resolution where Ukraine should not join NATO and Taiwan Independence will trigger the war to breakout. couple with inlfation out of control as a result of Quantitatice Easing (QE) increasing money supplies M2 to stimulate economic disruptions caused by Covid 19.
