VIDEO - David Morgan: Here’s What Will Drive the Next Major Leg Up

2018 brought declines for the gold price, but this year David Morgan, publisher of the Morgan Report, predicts a decent year for the yellow metal.

“I think the major shift has finally taken place. Gold is inversely correlated to the stock market, [and] I think the stock market has peaked at least for awhile,” he said at the recent Vancouver Resource Investment Conference.

“I could be wrong, but if that’s true you’ll see more and more money moving out of equities and into gold. I think that will be a trend starting this year.”

Even so, Morgan cautioned investors not to get too excited just yet. “The cycle’s starting over and gold is out of favor and nobody cares, and very few people are buying and that type of thing,” he explained. “I think that’s really where we are right now, at least psychologically.”

In his opinion, that means “this year will be a good one for gold, but not a great year for gold.”
