Keith Barron continues:
“The unemployment rate is now almost one in four people, it’s just over 24%. If this place was in South America, they would be verging on revolution right now. They would be pulling down statues, breaking windows and setting fire to cars. Maybe that’s coming.
Greece is certainly not out of the woods. We know that Portugal is in big trouble too. The fear is that things are going to start spreading to Italy, that’s the big shoe to drop.
“But you know these anti-austerity protests, if they are going to clean these things up and go for growth, as a lot of the politicians have been claiming, then it’s going to be inflationary. Down the road this will be very, very good for precious metals.
I think you are going to see the European Central Bank throwing money at the various crises, in Europe, that are continuing to unfold. (Also,) I do think QE3 is coming before the US elections. I think there is continued bad news coming both in GDP output and in employment figures for the US, and they are going to throw money at this.
So this is all very inflationary and it is very bullish for gold. I would not at all be surprised to see another huge bounce in the gold price, like we saw last August. Traditionally and typically these things don’t happen in the summer, but certainly we had a huge surge in price last August..."
