There is no foreseeable scenario where prices of the yellow metal will decline amid the tariff war, according to David Tait, chief executive officer of World Gold Council.
Every indicator, both logical and instinctive, points towards a rise in gold's value, Tait told NDTV Profit in a conversation on Wednesday.
A growing concern for many is the threat to global financial stability posed by the sovereign debt crisis, with $72 trillion in sovereign debt already existing and an additional $12–13 trillion expected this year, Tait said.
Since US President Donald Trump's inauguration, gold prices have not rallied as much as anticipated. Many expected a decline in gold prices due to the reversal of key economic indicators that usually influence gold purchases, Tait said.
