\u201cGold is going up because the world is going down,\u201d says Gerald Celente, American trend forecaster and publisher of the Trends Journal. In an interview with Daniela Cambone, Celente criticizes those who once dismissed gold advocates as “lunatics,” asserting that more people are now waking up to gold\u2019s value as protection.<\/p>\n
He also predicts the precious metal could reach $4,000 an ounce. Celente points to conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, along with Germany\u2019s recession and global military build-ups, as drivers of inflation and rising oil prices. \u201cYou could see Brent crude going above $100, $120 a barrel. That\u2019ll crash the proverbial economy and crash the equity markets.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGold Is Going Up Because the World Is Going Down\u201d \u2013 Gerald Celente Issues a Blunt Economic Warning<\/strong> While the mainstream media remains fixated on temporary economic narratives, trend forecaster Gerald Celente<\/strong> sees the bigger picture\u2014and it isn\u2019t pretty. On The Daniela Cambone Show<\/em>, Celente lays out a sobering forecast: wars are escalating, economies are failing, and the U.S. dollar is weakening<\/strong>. In short, he says, “Gold is going up because the world is going down.”<\/p>\n At ITM Trading<\/strong>, we specialize in helping Americans aged 50+ protect their wealth from inflation, geopolitical instability, and systemic collapse. If you\u2019ve been watching the markets and wondering what\u2019s really driving gold & silver prices<\/strong>, this interview offers the clarity you\u2019ve been looking for.<\/p>\n Once mocked as a \u201clunatic\u201d investment, gold is now back in the spotlight<\/strong>. As Celente put it, even Wall Street icons like Jeffrey Gundlach are now admitting gold isn\u2019t just for outliers\u2014it\u2019s for anyone who sees what\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re not crazy for believing in gold,\u201d Celente says. \u201cYou’re crazy if you think fake money will save you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n With war erupting across the Middle East, Europe\u2019s largest economy in recession, and the U.S. increasingly dependent on money printing to keep the system alive, gold\u2019s rise isn\u2019t speculative\u2014it\u2019s reactive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Celente connects the dots between rising global tensions<\/strong> and gold\u2019s price surge<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Germany, Europe\u2019s largest economy, has been in a two-year recession<\/strong> and is now borrowing $1 trillion<\/strong> to ramp up military spending.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Crude oil has jumped $15 per barrel<\/strong> since May, heading toward $100\u2013120\u2014setting the stage for a crash in the equity markets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The Israeli conflict has escalated with Iran now directly involved<\/strong>. Meanwhile, no global leader is talking about peace.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u201cEvery warship launched, every rocket fired signifies a theft from those who hunger and are not fed,\u201d Celente quoted Dwight D. Eisenhower. \u201cThe world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the hopes of its children.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In short: global governments are choosing war over peace<\/strong>, and the price is being paid in currency devaluation, social unrest, and rising gold prices.<\/p>\n One of Celente\u2019s most chilling observations is that war is often used to cover economic failure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n He cited how, in 2020, Israel faced 39 straight weeks of internal protests<\/strong> over judicial reform. Within days of those protests peaking, Hamas launched a major attack<\/strong>\u2014despite reports that Egypt and the U.S. warned Israel it was coming.<\/p>\n \u201cWe only report the facts,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen all else fails, they take you to war.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n And when war escalates, the flight to safety is automatic<\/strong>\u2014and that\u2019s why gold continues to outperform.<\/p>\n As inflation lingers and job losses mount, Celente believes the Federal Reserve will have no choice<\/strong> but to lower interest rates again\u2014just like Trump forced them to in late 2018.<\/p>\n \u201cLower rates mean a weaker dollar. A weaker dollar means stronger gold.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n He predicts the Fed will likely cut rates two to three times before the end of the year<\/strong>, possibly reintroducing quantitative easing (QE)<\/strong> in an attempt to artificially prop up a fragile economy.<\/p>\n But printing more money only accelerates inflation and decreases trust in fiat currency\u2014a dynamic that further strengthens the case for physical gold and silver<\/strong>, a core tenet of ITM Trading\u2019s wealth preservation strategies.<\/p>\n Celente warns that the jobs being created are mostly low-paying roles<\/strong> in healthcare, services, and government\u2014not high-paying, growth-oriented positions. And while official numbers underreport layoffs, real-world data tells a different story.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been tracking job loss for years. When the economy goes down, jobs go down. That\u2019s the reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Combine job losses with inflation, and you don\u2019t get stagflation\u2014you get what Celente calls \u201cdragflation<\/strong>\u201d: a dragging economy with prices still climbing.<\/p>\n Celente\u2019s confidence in gold is more than theoretical\u2014it\u2019s personal. He started buying gold during the Iranian revolution in the 1970s<\/strong>, when he realized how media narratives were being manipulated and governments were using war as distraction.<\/p>\n He invested $5,000 in gold and oil futures<\/strong>, turning it into nearly $750,000<\/strong>\u2014enough to quit his job and become a full-time trend forecaster.<\/p>\n \u201cGold gave me the independence to follow truth\u2014not propaganda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n His bottom-line forecast today? Gold over $4,000 an ounce<\/strong> if current trends continue. And if cryptocurrencies didn\u2019t exist, he says it could be double that.<\/strong><\/p>\n Gerald Celente\u2019s message is raw but clear: this is not a time for complacency<\/strong>. Wars are spreading. The U.S. dollar is weakening. And central banks are printing money faster than ever. If you\u2019re not holding gold, you\u2019re exposed.<\/p>\n At ITM Trading<\/strong>, we\u2019ve spent nearly 30 years helping clients:<\/p>\n Acquire and secure physical gold and silver<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Protect retirement savings from inflation and market instability<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Build personalized strategies to weather economic storms<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
