If we look into the past, when the price of the precious metal has been on the verge of an upward breakout, it is the years 1971 and 1972. On August 15, 1971, the incumbent U.S. President Richard Nixon removed the gold peg of the U.S. dollar. Previously, $35 could be exchanged for one troy ounce of gold. This burst in the price of gold was made from above, i.e., artificial in nature. Nevertheless, the period from 1968 to 1972 can be compared with today. At that time, there was high inflation and the Fed raised interest rates to nine percent. Now we still have to expect further interest rate hikes by the Fed and real interest rates are still high.

Those who see a price above $2,000 per ounce coming are, for example, the French bank Société Générale. The bank’s analysts justify this with the fact that the central banks will not manage to bring inflation under control. By the end of 2023, they forecast a price of $2,200 per ounce. Gold serves as a long-term inflation hedge, and central bank demand for gold continues to support the price. Fiat currencies are weakening, and this will boost the gold price.

The outlook is good, even if the price of the precious metal is not so joyful right now. If the central banks and especially the Fed say goodbye to their restrictive monetary policy, then the way is paved for new all-time highs. This will then also be good for the well-positioned companies with gold in their projects, such as Condor Gold, Torq Resources or Vizsla Silver.
