Conventional wisdom says inflation and real interest rates determine the price of gold. My research led me to a different conclusion.
Gold has surprised almost everyone. Many analysts have relied on inflation, real interest rates, or the U.S. dollar to explain its movements. Yet these traditional relationships have failed to predict the recent trend. In this presentation, I'll explain why I focused instead on short-term interest rates—a relationship that provided the correct outlook. We'll examine the evidence, challenge some widely accepted assumptions, and discuss what today's gold market is really telling us about the economy and the business cycle.
By the end of this video, you'll understand why short-term interest rates may be one of the most reliable indicators for forecasting the trend in gold.
