Goldman Sachs attributes gold's recent decline mainly to large-scale liquidation by speculative funds rather than changes in real interest rates. CFTC data show speculators sold about $8bn of gold positions from 20 to 27 October, $5.2bn from long liquidation and $2.8bn from new shorts, with $19.5bn of net outflows over five straight weeks since 22 September.
