Raoul Pal on why emerging markets will dominate in the next 5 years (Pt. 1/2): If Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision, had to choose one place to make a 5-year investment, it would be in emerging markets. “Very simple asset allocation. I’d buy bonds in case this economic growth doesn’t appear because the virus goes on longer, the vaccine takes longer to roll out, and we’ve seen shut downs in Europe and I think we’re going to get them in the U.S.. So buy bonds and buy emerging markets,” Pal told Kitco News. “If growth comes back, you’ll make a huge amount of money in emerging markets.” 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

Gold price plummets $100, can it go lower? Pfizer, travel stocks soar, Zoom tanks: Gold price dropped $100, or 4.5% on Monday as Pfizer announced that its COVID-19 vaccine is 90% effective.

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 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

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

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

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. Some parts of the U.S. market are developing a beginning of a bubble, but many parts of the markets are not, that’s why I suspect [this rally] is going to go on for a while,” Rogers said. 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

Thomas Kaplan sees NOVAGOLD as the Holy Grail in mining: Silver may be Thomas Kaplan's first love as he sees the potential for the precious metal to eventually push to $100 dollars; however, he is also not giving up on gold as he sees the yellow metal in the third-wave of a secular bull market that will take it "way past new highs." He noted that gold was in a strong uptrend well before the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the global economy. "All the pandemic has served to do is to make people now understand that the question of money and what is money when clearly it can be printed at will, he said. "The debasement of currencies is obviously very, very bullish for gold.” by Kitco NEWS Interviews

Rick Rule: Top investing mistakes, new wave of gold bugs emerging: Gold investors are prone to making common mistakes that can be detrimental to a portfolio, including excessive diversification, picking companies that don’t adhere to an investment objective, and not sticking with management teams with proven track records, said Rick Rule, president of Sprott U.S. “If I had just hung out with the Ross Beatys, the Bob Quartermains, the Robert Friedlands, the Lukas Lundins, all of them I’ve done business with, by the time I was 35 and not bothered with the rest of the universe, I would have worked less hard and made more money,” Rule said. by Kitco NEWS Interviews

How severe are COVID, Brexit impacts on gold bullion supply?: With lockdowns resuming in Europe, concerns rise that London, a major vaulting center, will face logistical challenges in transporting and servicing gold and silver bullion, similar to what happened in March that led to shortages of the physical precious metals markets. Ruth Crowell, chief executive of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), said that vaults and service providers are more prepared this time around. “This is something we talk about in terms of potential market disruptions, and part of our role in terms of being that point of contact for the infrastructure providers here in London is talking to the vaults and the carriers about how are you ready…for COVID challenges as well as Brexit challenges.
