Last year was a year filled with volatility. This is specifically evident with gold, which left some investors disappointed in its performance over recent months. Will investors finally see the increase in gold that they were hoping for last year in 2022? Investing News Network spoke with Sightline Wealth Management for insight.
While Sightline Wealth Management Senior Vice President and Investment Advisor Paul de Sousa does believe that gold will experience a significant rise sometime in the future, he does not think that it will occur this year due to the strength of the U.S. dollar and the amount of capital entering equity markets. Instead, he says that gold will likely remain even and continue to trade around $1,700 to $1,850 throughout 2022.
“I think the real rise will come during a massive loss of confidence, and it’ll happen very quickly. So, I don’t quite see it [in 2022],” says de Sousa. He explains that this confidence loss will likely resemble the feelings that took over investors in March 2020, when the pandemic and its corresponding lockdowns first began. However, de Sousa believes there will be a different catalyst the next time around, such as massive defaults on bonds.
Even though de Sousa’s opinion is that 2022 will likely not be the year that gold takes off, it is an ideal opportunity to get into this asset at a good price. “Just buy it now when it’s relatively calm,” de Sousa explains. “Don’t worry about it, you’re going to own this for a long time.”
In addition to gold, de Sousa also offers viewers insights on the U.S. Federal Reserve’s plans to mitigate inflation, the potential future for the U.S. dollar and why investors should not let taxes drain their wealth.
