What Will the Price of Gold Be in January 2014?Jeff Clark That correlation says well see $2,300 gold by January 2014. There are plenty of long-term charts that show a connection between gold and various other forms of money (and credit). Most show that one outperforms until the other catches up. But lets zero in on our current circumstances, namely the expansion of the US monetary base since the financial crisis hit in 2008. Heres the performance of the gold price compared to the expansion of the monetary base since January 2008. Since the Fed has declared QEternity, its logical to conclude that this expansion of the monetary base will continue. If it grows at the same pace through January 2014, there is a high likelihood the gold price will reach $2,300 at that point. Thats roughly a 30% rise within 15 months. Some may argue that theres no law saying this correlation must continue. Thats true. And maybe the Fed doesnt print till 2014. Thats possible. But its not just the US central bank thats printing money The largest economies of the world are all grossly devaluing their currencies. This will not be consequence-free. Gold and silver will be direct beneficiaries along with mining companies starting with rising prices. There are other consequences, both good and bad, of gold hitting $2,000 and not stopping there. We think investors should be prepared for the following: The message from these likely outcomes is to continue accumulating gold or to start without delay. Waiting will have consequences of its own. People say that theres nothing certain in life except death and taxes. In my view, $2,300 gold is a close second. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:
