The world’s largest economy is just weeks away from defaulting on its debts – and ongoing political wranglings around raising the U.S. debt ceiling could propel gold to significant price gains.
Analysts at RBC Capital Markets have pegged gold as the best hedge against financial disruption as the uncertainty rumbles on. Allison Enck said, “Heightening anxiety about the debt ceiling is the near-term catalyst to watch…Even assuming a deal is eventually reached, we wouldn’t disregard potential growing financial angst as the deadline approaches.
Enck adds that gold is the smart choice for investors right now, adding “We believe gold looks like the best hedge in the more immediate offing.”
There is just a week to go until the ceiling deadline of 01 June. If that date is reached, and no agreement over raising the ceiling has been made, the U.S. would be unable to service its debt, creating chaos in financial markets around the world.
Don’t wait to make your move. Buy gold now.
