Core Viewpoint - The long-term outlook for currency devaluation trades remains positive, with expectations that gold prices could reach $6,000 by spring next year based on historical bull market performance [1][2]. Group 1: Market Adjustments and Opportunities - The recent adjustment in the precious metals market, where gold failed to break $4,000 and silver faced pressure around $50, is attributed to short covering in dollar trades, creating better entry points for future price increases [1][2]. - Institutional and private client allocations to gold are still low, at 2.3% and 0.5% respectively, indicating a lack of structural bullish positioning in the market, which provides ample room for future price increases [4][2]. Group 2: Historical Data and Projections - Historical data from past bull markets shows an average gold price increase of approximately 300% over a duration of 43 months, suggesting a potential peak of $6,000 for gold by spring 2024, contingent on a 28% increase in investor purchases [2][3]. - The average performance of gold from 1970 to 2020 indicates significant price increases during bull markets, with the most recent cycle (October 2022 to October 2025) projected to yield a 147% increase [3]. Group 3: Policy and Economic Factors - Factors supporting long-term gold price increases include anticipated changes in Federal Reserve policy, government stimulus measures, and potential gold revaluation similar to historical precedents in 1934 and 1973 [5][2]. - Policies like Argentina's rescue plan are seen as typical examples of "prosperity bubble policies," which tend to raise inflation expectations and boost demand for inflation-hedging assets like gold [5]. Group 4: Commodity Market Dynamics - A significant shift in the commodity market is noted, with the current ratio of oil to gold prices indicating that 61 barrels of oil are now needed to purchase one ounce of gold, compared to 15 barrels in June 2022, marking an unusual historical phenomenon [6]. - Expectations for oil prices to potentially drop to $50 per barrel could provide a favorable environment for inflation control and consumer welfare, while also meeting the energy demands of AI development [9]. Group 5: Future Price Predictions - The company has raised its gold price forecast for 2026 to $5,000 per ounce, with an average price projection of $4,400, while silver prices are expected to rise to $65 per ounce, with an average of $56.25 [10].
