Gold prices could skyrocket, says Rick Rule, founder of Rule Investment Media, as noted by Bitcoin.com. In fact, he’s confident the struggling U.S. economy will send gold prices through the roof. “Rule also emphasized that the current economic climate, characterized by interest rate fluctuations, quantitative easing (QE), and other financial mismanagement by policymakers, will only increase demand for gold. Rule said: If that’s correct, demand for precious metals-related assets will increase fourfold, which is precisely what I think is going to happen.” That could be great news for companies such as Golden Cariboo Resources (TSXV: GCC) (OTC: GCCFF), Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE: GOLD) (TSX: ABX), Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT), Franco Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV) (TSX: FNV), and Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD). Even analysts at UBS say gold because 1) central bank interest will remain robust; 2) broad dollar weakness; and 3) rising recession risks.
