Gold prices are reaching the peak and running out of steam on this rally, said Charlie Morris of HSBC Global Asset Management.

Gold prices [US@GC.1  Loading...      ()   ] are “merely reflecting [US] dollar weakness,” Morris told CNBC.

“Against other currencies, there is no rally. If you look at [gold prices] against the yen, euro, sterling — you see it as flat as a pancake in the last two to three months.”

Morris said people are buying gold for the wrong reasons.

“[Gold prices] are not going up — it’s only going up in dollar terms because the dollar is falling,” he said.

CNBC Feature:

Morris said the short-term market is overbought. Once the normalization of the world continues, the gold market “just needs to tread water for quite sometime,” he said.

Disclosure:

No immediate information was available for Morris or his firm.
