Past performance is not indicative of future results. These paths only replay GOLD's past daily moves; they are not a forecast or a promise of any return.

How it works

Yahoo Finance daily closes of the front-month GC=F futures, on trading days. Since 31 Oct 2022 that gives 1,006 daily moves, about 252 a year. A path starts at today's price, picks one of those moves at random, applies it, and repeats at the same pace until the horizon. 2,000 paths are drawn; P10, P50 and P90 are the prices that 10%, 50% and 90% of them stay below on each day.

Each move is drawn on its own, so streaks and changes of regime are not modelled. A short history means a rough picture. This is past behaviour replayed, not a forecast: past performance is not indicative of future results, and GOLD can lose value.
