Gold $2,450 in the Next Several Months

 

Eureka Shadows from the Past

I'm in good health at 75, “rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.” 

That's almost an exact quote from Mark Twain, it has been tweaked some over the years. Good enough for ranch work!

After a two-year hiatus, the ole Colonel couldn't help but jump back in to put his two bits on future gold prices. Here's what Chief Editor Neils Christensen said in this his Kitco Weekly Gold Survey:

"Looking beyond U.S. monetary policies, Richard Baker, creator of the Eureka Gold Miner's Report, said that the ongoing debt ceiling debate poses a significant economic risk and could support gold prices.

"History may not repeat but looks set to rhyme in the next several months. The "raising the debt limit debate' will raise gold prices to $2,450 or beyond," he said. It is important to remember that a U.S. debt downgrade and not default set the ball rolling to record gold prices in 2011. Perceived inability to govern was the catalyst."

My contrarian vote was a move up to $2,010 sometime next week. Here's what I wrote in 2011 when gold prices scored a new record on the heels of that U.S. debt debate:

$1,898.60/oz Gold; $44.09/oz Silver; Miners See Sunlight Above (Eureka Miner, August 23, 2011)

Comex gold futures are presently $1,999.10 for June.

Rock on Miners!
