More bank failures ahead

The main reason for the Fed to introduce QE would be more incoming bank failures, according to Prins.

"I do see the potential for a massive crisis in the banking sector. We are not out of the woods there. If that happens, it will be remedied by QE, and that will help this particular sector by creating liquidity," Prins said.

Gold has indeed been an interesting topic lately. Let’s delve into the price projections for this precious metal:

2024 Forecast:
J.P. Morgan Research predicts that gold prices will continue to be influenced by Fed rate cuts and geopolitical tensions. The expected range for gold by the end of 2024 is between $2,100 and $2,300 per ounce. This reflects both economic uncertainties and the enduring appeal of gold as an investment.
Kitco, another reputable source, suggests a similar range, estimating gold prices to be between $2,100 and $2,300 per ounce by the end of 2024.
Additionally, based on chart readings, gold is expected to fluctuate between $2,000 and $2,200 throughout 2024, assuming supply and demand remain relatively stable.
Longer-Term Outlook:
Looking beyond 2024, J.P. Morgan anticipates a forecasted peak of $2,300/oz in 2025. The gradual increase in gold prices seems plausible due to anticipated Fed rate cuts and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.
While the short-term technical analysis points to a potential target of a couple of hundred dollars higher, the longer-term view suggests levels around $2,700 to $2,800 over the next year or two.
In summary, gold appears to be in a favorable position from both a technical standpoint and as a safe-haven asset. Keep an eye on the market dynamics, and remember that unforeseen events can always impact gold prices in the long term.

Gold has been a noteworthy investment over the long term, but its performance varies depending on the time period analyzed. Let’s delve into the details:

Historical Performance:
Durable Store of Value: Gold has long been considered a durable store of value and a hedge against inflation.
Mixed Returns: Over the long run, both stocks and bonds have generally outperformed the price increase in gold on average.
Shorter Time Spans: However, over certain shorter time spans, gold may come out ahead.
Inflation and Geopolitical Uncertainty: Gold tends to rise during periods of high inflation and geopolitical uncertainty.
Recent Highs: In 2020, gold reached an all-time high of nearly $2,075 as the COVID-19 pandemic spread, and it spiked again above $2,000 per ounce during the Russia-Ukraine conflict in early 2022.
Comparison with Stocks and Bonds: Over the longer term, stocks seem to outperform gold by about 3-to-1. However, over shorter time horizons, gold may win out1.
Specific Data:
From 1990 to 2020, the price of gold increased by around 360%. Over the same period, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 991%.
Considering the 15-year period from 2005 to 2020, the price of gold increased by 330%, roughly the same as the 30-year period mentioned earlier. During this time, the DJIA increased by only 153%.
In recent years, 2021 and 2022, gold has outperformed stocks due to geopolitical uncertainty and inflation worldwide.
Annual Returns:
Between January 1971 and December 2022, gold had average annual returns of 7.78%, which was only slightly behind the return of commodities with 8.3% average annual returns.
In 2022, the annual average return of gold was 0.4%.
Notably, in 2020, the annual average return of gold was 24.6%, making it the second-highest return among a range of assets that year, following silver.
In summary, while gold has its place as a safe haven and hedge, its performance relative to other assets can vary significantly based on the time frame considered. Investors often include gold as part of a diversified portfolio, especially when it acts as a hedge against a falling stock market
