Resolves YES if the linked article turns out to be basically correct – ie. gold prices soar above $3000 in 2023 [on one of the major markets], perhaps in some relation to inflation scares.

Resolves NO otherwise.

Context: Saxo Bank released a list of “outrageous predictions” for 2023, and it includes “Gold rockets to USD 3,000 as central banks fail on inflation mandate.”

predicted NO

To evaluate the likelihood of gold reaching such a value, I took monthly price data from Aug-2019 (YCharts, 2023). 

Looking at the dataset, we observe that no significant change happened in the span of a single month during the period. Computing the monthly difference, we observe that the highest change was a 7% increase, and the highest price at a month's end was 2000$. Without any calculation, it is possible to assume that a 64% price increase is unlikely in only three months. A linear forecast predicts Dec-20 price of $1,961.49, further confirming the hypothesis (LINK).

Meanwhile, actual market in gld etf options are pricing possibility of gold closing above 3000 to around 0-0,5% on each month, and its only the theta left until december what is keeping delta not zero for strikes at that level.
