Gold prices recently have been in a struggle to maintain upwards momentum, which is currently down roughly 12 percent from its record high of $1,900 in September. "Gold is also lacking sufficient investment enthusiasm to be able to sideline the physical market as it did earlier in the year thus, in turn, prices are struggling to gain momentum," said Barclays.

The improving U.S. economy has also clouded the future for gold. "The wider macro environment is generally improving... so I think that's creating some headwinds, and also the European banking crisis settled down, so there's less need for safe haven of gold at this point," Standard Chartered analyst Daniel Smith said.
