Gerald Celente, Founder/Director of the Trends Research Institute, believes gold reached its bottom with its performance in 2022. “I would say $1,800 is a pretty good bottom for gold. $1,800 or $1,750 absolutely…this could be the year when gold really takes off to a much higher extent, well over $2,000. It can even go into the $2,500 levels.” He also claims that there will be a “market meltdown” this year and suggests that the U.S. government would use war to distract its citizens from the harsh economic reality. Unilever CEO Alan Jope is warning of the possibility of persistently high prices in the near future even if inflation levels out, adding that soaring costs have not yet reached their peak.
