We just received some incredible honest statements from Solita Marcelli, global head of fixed income, currencies and commodities at JPMorgan Private Bank (open only to wealthy investors with at least $5 million of investable assets). She told CNBC this week that the bank’s analysts are expecting to see gold prices go higher for the rest of the year. ($1400 by the end of 2016). This is a huge shift from the bank’s position early this year when they expected an average annual price of $1,104 for 2016.

Marcelli points to the negative interest rates around the world and said, “Gold is looking more and more attractive every single day. As a non-yielding asset, it has a minimal storage cost, so when you compare it to negative-yielding assets, it actually has a positive carry…Gold is a great portfolio hedge in an environment where world government bonds are yielding at historically low levels.”
