E.B. Tucker: $2,500 gold price target and how to fight 'war on wealth' during Biden presidency: With odds now stacked heavily in Joe Biden’s favor, it’s now looking more likely that the next four years will see a Democratic president in the White House. E.B. Tucker, director of Metalla Royalty and “Why Gold? Why Now? The War Against Your Wealth and How to Win It” said that gold and gold royalty stocks still remain the ultimate weapons against the “war against wealth.” Tucker said that bigger government, more government intervention, and low interest rates are all likely to persist during a Biden Administration, creating tailwinds for gold. Tucker maintains $2,500 an ounce by the end of the year as his gold price target. by Kitco NEWS Interviews

A 'sober' 2021 gold price target; say goodbye to 'phenomenal' drivers - HSBC's Jim Steel: 2020 has seen a “phenomenal” inflow of gold-backed exchange-traded funds, fueling an investment-led rally, but while ETF inflows are still expected to be strong, 2020’s level of inflows would be hard to keep up. Jim Steel, chief precious metals analyst at HSBC, said that gold will average a price of $1,965 an ounce in 2021, owing to competing macroeconomic forces; accommodative monetary policy will continue to provide tailwinds, but an unwinding of geopolitical risk from a Biden Administration will ease the appetite for gold. “Gold is sensitive to geopolitical risk,” he said. “If we’re going to get some rapprochement on the trade issues between the United States and the other countries, and it’s not just one country, it could be from several, and we also get a charm offensive from the Biden Administration to U.S. allies or to others, and the geopolitical risks come down and there’s progress made by Kitco NEWS Interviews

Gold price to fall to $1,000 before strongest boom in history – Harry Dent (Pt. 2/2): From 2022 on, I’d be buying gold hand hand in fist, it’s going to hold up better than most commodities,” said Harry Dent, founder of HS Dent, who is calling for gold to see its final rally to $2,200 an ounce next year before falling to multi-year lows until 2022. "I’m expecting gold to go up…when this crisis starts to build next year, it’s going to see more stimulus, it’s going to go up at first. I have a target of $2,200,” Dent said. “$2,200 is the strong resistance in the coming months and then crash back down to its 2015 lows, around $1,000.” by Kitco NEWS Interviews

Fed's impact on inflation: what investors got wrong - Steve Hanke: One of the main lessons from the last financial recession of 2008 is that the U.S. economy did not see double-digit inflation rates when quantitative easing was launched, said Steve Hanke, professor of applied economics of Johns Hopkins University. "All the gold bugs in the world said that the Fed was exploding its balance sheet, the narrow measure of money was going up very fast, we're going to have hyperinflation. No, we didn't have hyperinflation because the Fed is a very small part of the broad money picture, and broad money never grew very fast, it never grew more than about 5% per annum," Hanke told Kitco News. by Kitco NEWS Interviews

Don't ignore possibility of $1,000 gold price says Lobo Tiggre: Even though a bear case for gold is unlikely to happen, investors should not be sailing with their eyes closed and ignore the possibility of a pivot in fiscal and monetary policies, which would drag gold prices down, said Lobo Tiggre of the Independent Speculator. “It’s not something that keeps me up at night. It is something worth thinking about,” Tiggre said. “Here’s the scary thing, [gold] could go quite low. If you look at the big correction in the middle of the 1970s bull market, that was on the order of 50%.” by Kitco NEWS Interviews

Is the pain over yet for gold? Alain Corbani gives forecast: Gold has broken a critical support level, but there is not much downside left, said Alain Corbani, portfolio manager of Finance SA, who forecasts $2,500 an ounce for gold's upside target. The metal will be caught between conflicting macroeconomic forces next year: slightly higher negative real interest rates, but a weakening U.S. dollar. While gold has a negative correlation with negative real rates, ultimately, the dollar will prevail as the dominant driver of gold during this current phase of the commodity cycle. by Kitco NEWS Interviews

'Silver has always been my first love,' says billionaire Thomas Kaplan in Kitco Exclusive: For the first time in 20 years, Thomas Kaplan, CEO of Electrum Group, has launched a new public silver producer. In an exclusive interview with Kitco News, Kaplan talks about his silver and gold projects and his outlook for the precious metals. In November, The Electrum Group went public with Gatos Silver (NYSE: GATO, TSX: GATO), which raised $170 million in its IPO. It was also one of the first precious metals companies listed directly on the New York Stock Exchange. Looking at commodity prices, Kaplan said that gold and silver are just at the start of a significant bull market. "Once silver stabilizes and gold is going up as some monetary metals, silver then starts to follow gold and then it gets octane and it surpasses gold," he said. "That's what happened during the financial crisis and we are starting to see that again." by Kitco NEWS Interviews

Jim Rogers: Markets are not in a bubble yet, opportunities lie here: There’s simply too much money injected into the monetary system by central banks to allow a sizeable bear market to take place soon, said Jim Rogers, investor and chairman of Rogers Holdings. “Many stocks in the U.S. are down in 2020. There are a few stocks that are going through the roof every day.
