Momentum in Gold Investing; A thread 🧵👇
Gold has always been a safe haven, especially during economic upheavals.
Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital provides an in-depth view on gold’s historical cycles & its value in today’s market.
The Three Gold Cycles since 1970:
First Cycle (1971):
Nixon ended the gold standard, causing its price to surge. Falling gold production, inflation, and increasing central bank reserves marked this period.
Second Cycle (~2000):
Triggered by the halt in gold reserve sell-offs by major central banks.
The period saw the gold to S&P 500 ratio drop, rising demand from China, and the 2008 crisis upping gold’s value.
Third Cycle (2016-present):
Costa highlights the potential in this cycle with key markers such as decreasing gold production, active central bank accumulation, and rising government debt.
He sees potential for gold's price to soar further.
Factors Influencing Gold:
1. Falling Production: Diminishing supply intensifies gold's demand.
2. Central Banks: They're diversifying foreign reserves with gold.
3. Government Debt: Rising debt, inflation, and unsteady interest rates emphasize gold's significance.
Costa forecasts gold prices could hit $5k-$10k in the near future.
Reasons?
Falling production, central bank strategies, mounting government debt, and global macroeconomic issues.
