Government and corporations around the world continue to accumulate unsustainable debt. Since it’s unthinkable for developed countries such as the United States to default on the obligation, the only way out of this situation is to continue to debase currencies. This environment is very supportive for Gold and Silver in coming years. Indeed, Gold has broken to new all-time high against all other world currencies including US Dollar. The chart below in Gold suggests a simple 100% extension from all-time low should see Gold reaching $2900 as a conservative target.
Furthermore, Gold-to-Silver ratio also confirms the direction of Gold and Silver remain bullish as the chart below suggests. Gold-to-Silver ratio is the ratio of gold price / silver price.
