Canadian gold mining magnate Rob McEwen says either Trump or Clinton are “positive for
gold” and that prices could rise to between $1,700 and $1,900 per troy ounce by year end as uncertainty builds around the stability of global currencies and sovereign debt.

…[According to] Bloomberg, in a speech given at a gold conference in Colorado Springs this past Tuesday:
- McEwen believes record-low global interest rates will cause a “huge amount of anxiety” for investors…[causing many of them to] turn to gold as a store of value and an alternative asset..
- [As such,] “McEwen is betting big on gold. As the chief executive officer of his eponymous company, he’s paid $1 a year and doesn’t receive bonuses, wagering that his share holdings will reap him ample rewards…
- McEwen, who expects bullion could reach $5,000 in four years, made bold predictions for [higher] prices….in 2009 and 2011…[but,] this time, McEwen expects a number of catalysts — from the U.S. election to instability at banks — could make his prediction come to fruition saying:
- “You have many more people involved in the market than you ever have before — crowd psychology is there. Reasons for anxiety are multiple than what we’ve had in the past and there will be a triggering event.”
- …McEwen believes that no matter which candidate wins over the U.S. populace when voters take to the polls in November, it will be positive for prices…[saying]:
- “Hillary has got a very accommodative platform. She’s made promises to every group you can imagine in the United States to give them money.
- Trump is less expansionary, but he’s unnerved a lot of people with his statements, so they don’t really look at his policies, they look at his rhetoric.”
