Gold Price14 Jul 2022 13:55
Peter Krauth, Author of “The Great Silver Bull” and Editor of The Silver Stock Investor online:
In his book, Krauth has a model which forecasts that gold’s price will rise to $5,000 by 2030, which would drag silver’s price up to $300. This is due to gold’s use as an inflation hedge.
“My thesis is that if you look at what’s happening with inflation, and if you look at how other assets are hurting,” he said, “then in fact, since the start of the year, gold is essentially flat… The odds [of gold reaching $5,000] are based on the rise in inflation and the growth in the money supply. And the odds are that [inflation and money supply growth] will be significantly higher than what we’ve been experiencing over the past 10 to 15 years.”
He added that he’s not the only one who predicts a gold price of at least $5,000.
“I’m not the only one who think that gold will go to $5,000 or even perhaps $10,000 in a speculative mania,” he explained. “You’ve got people like Jim Rickards, Shayne Maguire, who ran a gold fund for the Texas teacher’s retirement system, and you’ve got Scott Minerd of Guggenheim. And you’ve got the In Gold We Trust report, which forecasts a relatively easy forecast close to $5,000.”
Just one point of view, but we can all dream I guess?
