Frank Holmes, chief executive officer at US Global Investors, said that gold will hit $2,000 an ounce, and that while the move won’t be straight there from current levels, investors should not be surprised by it. In a radio interview, Holmes noted that virtually all commodities have gone through their “inflation-adjusted 1980 price levels,” with the notable exception of gold, and that to get to that range the price of gold would have to top $2,000 an ounce. Holmes said he expects a short-term pull-back in gold – based on a correction he sees coming in oil and a short rally in the dollar, both of which will impact gold prices – but that the long-term trend will be strongly upward.
