Analyst and investor Gary Wagner, editor of TheGoldForecast.com is quite confident about the potential of gold at present. He thinks that the yellow metal is still the ultimate store of wealth. Wagner told Kitco, "Our current assessment is that if we can get an effective close in gold above $1880, it has a clear path to challenge $1900 and possibly even trade as high as $1920, the high seen in June 2021. If the Federal Reserve raises rates immediately after the conclusion of tapering, we could see gold at that point come under significant pressure. However, that timeline still allows for inflation to continue to rise, and gold to gain value at least until June 2022." in another report he said, "A break above $1,880 (gold price) would really signal another breakout and we would push towards $1,990."
