We have celebrated the new year with fireworks and street parties for the first time since the beginning of the Covid pandemic, but now it’s time to return to reality and get back to work.

Symbolically, we are starting the year with gold price projections. Even though there's no crystal ball to tell us where the price will go exactly, knowing what to expect is always helpful.

 will be key in determining the outlook for 2023 and gold’s performance,” 

Here are some of the influences the World Gold Council says can be good for gold this year: 

“Gold […] could provide protection as it typically fares well during recessions, delivering positive returns in five out of the last seven recessions.”

“The dollar is likely to be pressured, particularly as falling inflation and slower growth take hold. And a dollar peak has historically been good for gold, yielding positive gold returns 80% of the time 12 months after the peak.”

“Geopolitical flare-ups could lend support to gold investment, as we saw in Q1’22, as investors look to shield themselves from any further turbulence.”

Growing consumer demand for gold in Europe:

“European gold bar and coin investment is likely to remain robust in 2023 as 

retail investors – especially in Germanic markets – look to protect their wealth

Now, it’s time to get a little crazy. In a good way. 🙂

Mostly, he puts down gold’s surge to two factors:

It looks like falling, yet still high, inflation, and Fed policy moves, will be gold’s biggest drivers in 2023.

The possibility of a recession and lasting geopolitical tensions could also be major supporters of the gold price.
