• Gold to see $5,000-$9,000 pricelevels in 10 years - In Gold We Trust Report

    28 May 2020 | Gold News

The yellow metal could be looking at nearing the $5,000 an ounce price tag in a decade and that is a conservative estimate, according to the annual In Gold We Trust Report published by Incrementum AG.

The 14th annual report made some pretty bold predictions for the gold market, forecasting prices to, at least, approach $5,000 an ounce and possibly even push towards $9,000 an ounce by 2030, Incrementum AG fund managers and authors of the report Ronald-Peter Stoeferle and Mark Valek wrote on Wednesday.

The difference between whether gold will be near $5,000 an ounce or $9,000 an ounce will depend on the global debt situation as well as inflation.

“The proprietary valuation model shows a gold price of USD 4,800 at the end of this decade, even with conservative calibration. Should money supply growth develop in a similar inflationary manner to that of the 1970s, a gold price of USD 8,900 is conceivable by 2030,” the report stated.


However, in the short-term, prices could still surprise to the downside as there might be too much optimism in the gold space.

Longer-term, the report sees new all-time highs for gold as just a matter of time. In dollar terms, that would mean gold breaching $1,920 an ounce level and on the inflation-adjusted basis, it would mean gold climbing above $2,215.

Incrementum AG has ruled out a V-shaped recovery as economies around the world reopen.

Another major trier for the gold price is the failure of monetary policy normalization, which has serious consequences for inflation and debt management.

“There is unanimity among governments and central banks on how to combat the economic consequences of the Covid-19 crisis: As many people as possible should be saved, whatever the cost … The debt is now threatening to get out of hand for good,” the report said.

But after the COVID-19 outbreak, the world will be facing a global debt crisis.

According to the report, inflation concerns start to come in as well, which sees inflation as the “dominant investment theme” for the coming years.

“Central banks are in a quandary when it comes to combating future inflation. Due to overindebtedness, it will not be possible to combat nascent inflation with substantial interest rate increases,” Stoeferle and Valek said.

This is all great news for gold because it means that real interest rates will have to remain in the negative territory for a long time. Silver and mining stocks also look to benefit from this, the report added.

Gold could also potentially overtake the role that government bonds play in a portfolio as unsustained debt levels bring into question many government bonds out there.

“The interventions to combat the pandemic are overstretching the debt sustainability of many countries. Government bonds will increasingly be called into question as a safe-haven. Gold could take on this role,” the report said.
