The Trends Journal founder said in an interview that he expects inflation to continue high. The real inflation rate is currently around 15%. In addition, Celente predicts "the biggest crash in world history" if the US Federal Reserve raises interest rates.
However, Celente sees many opportunities for entrepreneurship in the new year. In this context, he is very optimistic about silver. The white precious metal is one of the best conductors of electricity and will play an important role in powering solar panels. In addition to silver, gold and bitcoin offer good investment opportunities to protect and preserve capital.
Lowry Williams has published his updated price predictions for precious metals for the end of 2022 on SharpsPixley.com. According to the analyst, the year that has just begun should be positive for all major traded precious metals. An exception might be palladium, which he believes has risen too fast in recent years.
Williams sees gold at $2,000 an ounce by the end of the year, up 10% from its December 31, 2021 price. According to his forecast, silver should also rise in price by 10% and end the year at $25.50 per ounce.
For platinum, the market expert predicts plus 16% and expects a price of $1,100 at the end of December. For palladium, Williams expects a 27% drop to $1,350 an ounce.
Lobo Tiggre of The Independent Speculator spoke about his predictions for 2022 in an interview with Kitco News. Topics of conversation: US Federal Reserve monetary policy, gold, silver and uranium.
As for precious metals, as the financial markets expert explains, he expects that at some point during the year the demand for safer metals will be significantly higher, when the statements of the US Federal Reserve are no longer taken seriously by the mainstream. Then the prices of gold and silver should rise to at least new nominal historical highs.
In addition, he expects inflation to remain high over the long term and could eventually rise significantly.
