Gold Investors need to look beyond rate hikes in 2022 – State Street Global Advisors
After a disappointing year, gold prices are ringing in 2022 on a solid note, trading at a five-week high. According to one precious metals analyst, gold should be on pace to resume its long-term bullish uptrend in the new year.
In a telephone interview with Kitco News, George Milling-Stanley, chief gold strategist at State Street Global Advisors, said that his base case scenario, with a 50% probability, is for gold prices to trade between $1,800 and $2,000 an ounce in 2022. He added that he sees a 30% chance of gold prices pushing above $2,000 to a new record high.
“We see an 80% chance of gold prices staying in the current range to moving higher next year,” he said. “Even with the Federal Reserve looking to tighten interest rates next year, we think gold has a pretty good chance of moving higher.”
On the downside, Milling-Stanley said that State Street sees a 20% chance of gold trading between $1,600 and $1,800 an ounce.
