Gold prices could reach as high as $1,800 an ounce by the end of the year, according to the median forecast of 15 traders and analysts surveyed by Bloomberg at a recent conference. The 15 percent gain would be the largest since gold prices surged 30 percent in 2010. Gold is positioned for its 12th consecutive year of gains as potential economic stimulus from governments around the globe boost investment demand for the precious metal.

"The euro zone has been quiet of late, but that doesn't mean the problems have disappeared," said Jeffrey Rhodes, global head of precious metals at INTL FCStone Inc. "The U.S. economy has been sluggish and there is a growing belief that there is going to be QE3 soon. This anticipation is driving the market."
