Expect gold to move higher as U.S. debt ceiling negotiations continue

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.

Information Request
Your privacy is guaranteed.
All data is handled under current GDPR rules.
Risk Warning
All persons who register as an ‘investor’ on this Website should read carefully the following warnings before making any investment.
All investment products carry risks. The relevant webpages and documents will cover risks specific to an individual offer. Please bear in mind the following general risks involved when investing through this Website:
Your personal decision to invest
A decision to invest in a company is a personal decision by you and no responsibility for the consequences of that decision is accepted by either U.K. Income and Growth or by any of its partners, directors, agents, employees or other members. To invest through this Website you need to understand the following important risks:
You are not covered by the financial services compensation scheme
Investments, whether in new or existing businesses, carry high risks as well as the possibility of high rewards. Accordingly, each investor should consider very carefully whether such investments are suitable in the light of their own personal circumstances, commitments and available financial resources. Engaging in any investment activity may expose you to a significant risk of losing all of your investment. This is a high risk investment and much riskier than a savings account. If a company fails, it is likely that you may lose all, or part, of your initial investment and receive no outstanding or future interest payments. In such circumstances neither the company nor U.K. Income and Growth will pay you back your investment.
Most of the companies in which U.K. Income and Growth invest are new companies with limited if any track record. These companies will provide information such as their business plan and financial forecasts. Please be warned that these documents are not guarantees that the relevant company can achieve what it is hoping to do. Equally the information provided may state certain facts and statements, and again please be warned that U.K. Income and Growth are not responsible for checking the accuracy of these facts and statements, which may not always prove to be true or complete.
Liquidity
As an investor you should be aware that no established market exists for the trading of the bonds and equity in private companies, and such bonds and equity are not easily realisable. It must be appreciated that there could be difficulty in selling such investments at a reasonable price and, in some circumstances, it may be difficult to sell them at any price.
Diversify your investments
Diversification by spreading your money across different types of investments should reduce your overall risk of financial loss. We highly recommend investors do this to maintain a balanced portfolio. Investors should also consider avoiding putting their money in the same investment as immediate family members. Investors should only invest a proportion of their available investment funds due to the high risks involved.
Tax
Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. U.K. Income and Growth recommends that if you require tax advice, you should seek this from a qualified tax professional and recommend that you take your own tax advice on any investments which you make via this Website.
Recommendation
U.K. Income and Growth doesn’t provide advice or make personal recommendations. If you are in any doubt about the action you should take or the contents of a particular Offer Document, you should seek advice from an independent financial advisor authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (+ 2012 Amendments).
Past performance
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. You should not rely on any past performance as a guarantee of future investment performance.
Where security is in place or assets held in support of the investment, there is a risk that if the underlying borrower defaults, or if there is a delay in realising the asset, then the asset may not be sold for enough to cover the loan or may result in delayed repayment of investors’ money. Additionally, where the security is not a first charge, in the event of a sale of the asset funds will be available to be paid to investors only after payment to the chargeholders who rank ahead of investors.
Disclaimer
Investing in equity opportunities such as those promoted by U.K. Income and Growth, involves risks including loss of capital. Investments made through U.K. Income and Growth are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
