Bloomberg strategist Mike McGlone predicts gold prices will reach $3,000 per ounce, citing various economic factors. He argues that gold’s recent outperformance of major stock indices signals deeper macroeconomic issues. McGlone attributes gold’s strength to geopolitical shifts, central bank buying, and increasing market volatility. He sees gold as a safe-haven asset amid potential recession risks and peaking bond yields. While gold shines, McGlone notes a broader deflationary trend in commodities, with industrial metals declining and oil in a bear phase. This complex economic landscape, according to McGlone, positions gold for continued growth despite current market uncertainties.
