Gold for immediate delivery may reach US$2,000 an ounce by the year end, extending this year's gain to 41%, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of 13 traders and analysts at a conference in Kovalam in South India on Aug. 20. That would be the most since the 127% surge in 1979, according to Bloomberg data.
