The present scenario suggests that gold is going to remain weak as US Fed is likely to raise interest rates in the month of Sep 2015. As per our analysis; any increase in US interest rates should further strengthen the dollar, prompting more fund outflows from commodities, metals and emerging-market assets.
The dollar hit its highest level in three months against a basket of other major currencies on Tuesday amid expectations for a rise in U.S. interest rates from near-zero levels in the coming months. The History repeats itself and below data will substantiate our claims that with US Fed rate hike and dollar peaking against major currencies money will move out of the gold.
This is exemplified by gold’s bull market in the 1970s. From 1971 through 1974, the Fed funds rate went from roughly 5 percent to 10 percent, during which time the price of gold rose from $35 per ounce to roughly $200 per ounce. The Fed funds rate fell back to 5 percent by 1975 as the price of gold fell by nearly 50 percent. The Fed funds rate soared from 1977, peaking at more than 20 percent in 1980, and during that time frame, gold reached a peak of $850 per ounce.

Last year gold recovered from Rs 24000 level. However as a word of caution; the strategy will yield maximum results for an investor with a time horizon of two to three years.
