Excerpt from the below article
The best-case scenario for gold in 2023 involves a global slowdown and a shift by central banks toward looser financial conditions, particularly in the United States. A reopening in China may also have a beneficial effect on the bullion market. These events might boost gold prices by at least 10% to $2,000/oz.
If stagflation were to worsen, with a global recession and stickier-than-predicted inflation but central banks holding back further monetary tightening, gold’s price might rise exponentially as investors flee bonds, equities, and currencies all at once, as happened in the 1970s. In this situation, gold would be seen as the “only asset in town” and may be on track to surpass its all-time high of $2,075/oz.
