Marc Faber: Gold Will Hit New Record High Even Though Markets Manipulated By Fed
HardAssetsInvestor: In light of all these issues, what’s your view on gold? Is the current rebound in prices sustainable?
Faber: We have had a meaningful correction. From $1,921 in September 2011 to less than $1,200 at the bottom is a fairly large correction. But in longer-term bull markets, these kinds of corrections do occur. We had a 40-50 percent correction in 1987 in equity markets. But the bull market lasted until the year 2000.
Looking at the fundamentals, looking at how debt will continue to increase and how central banks will continue their monetization not only in the U.S. but on a worldwide scale, I assume the price of gold will trend higher. Most likely we’ve seen the lows below $1,200.
HAI: Will gold revisit its highs?
Faber: Eventually we will be over $1,921. The question is, Will it be this year or in five years? That I don’t know. But as I have argued repeatedly, I think that part of your assets should be held in physical gold. I emphasize physical gold.
