With fears of recession rising, and growing uncertainty over the future of the economy, it seems that more and more people are looking towards gold and silver as safe haven assets. Both gold prices and silver prices have shot up recently, just in time for the holidays.<\/p>\n

The big question most gold and silver owners have right now is whether or not these price increases are the start of the big breakout most people have hoped for and anticipated for years, or whether these price increases are still just little rumblings.<\/p>\n

Gold Price Movements<\/p>\n

2023 hasn\u2019t been a great year for many assets, with many markets seemingly stumbling along and far from recouping last year\u2019s losses. Gold showed some promise early on, stumbled through mid-year, and now is starting to pick up again.<\/p>\n

Analysts such as those at Goldman Sachs, who just recently upgraded their 12-month gold price outlook<\/a> from $2,000 to $2,050 an ounce, may have to revise that estimate yet again, as gold\u2019s recent price increases have pushed it to within $40 of its all-time highs.<\/p>\n

The fact that gold is doing this at a time when stock markets are still relatively high is somewhat unique and unexpected. In the early stages of the 2008 recession, for instance, gold began to climb while stock markets fell, which is the more normally expected behavior.<\/p>\n

Still, for gold owners and would-be gold owners, high prices and a bullish outlook for the future gold price are a cause for celebration. And if the US economy does fall into a recession, and markets crash, the gold price could push even higher.<\/p>\n

Analysts at Societe Generale expect gold to hit $2,200 next year<\/a> which, given gold\u2019s current price performance, doesn\u2019t seem like it should be hard to achieve.<\/p>\n

Will Silver Catch Up?<\/p>\n

While gold gets all the headlines, silver often remains in the shadows. But the white metal hasn\u2019t exactly been slacking, hitting $25 an ounce recently.<\/p>\n

Still, silver\u2019s performance has been a little disappointing, at least for silver bulls. Given gold\u2019s push towards all-time highs, why hasn\u2019t silver done the same thing?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a tough question to answer, as the gold to silver ratio has, except during silver\u2019s amazing run in 2011, been quite elevated for over a decade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The silver lining to that, however, is that during times when silver performs really well, the gold silver ratio declines as a result of rising silver prices. And if the US economy falls into recession within the next year, there could be a good chance that silver prices could rise significantly.<\/p>\n

During the 1970s stagflation, when both gold and silver prices were rising at 30% annualized rates, the gold silver ratio dropped as the silver price took off. And a similar thing happened in the post-2008 precious metals bull market, as silver came close to setting an all-time high price in 2011.<\/p>\n

If a recession ends up materializing next year or in the coming years, one would certainly hope that silver would repeat the kind of performance we saw from it in the 1970s and post-2008. And hopes for that kind of repeat could be playing in to the increased investment demand for silver today.<\/p>\n

The Future of Gold and Silver<\/p>\n

Just because the outlook for gold and silver looks bright right now doesn\u2019t mean that everything is necessarily going to be rosy, however. In 2008 both gold and silver performed strongly to start the year, but saw losses as the year progressed.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because both gold and silver are highly liquid assets, and can be a source of quick cash for those who need it. In 2008, as financial conditions deteriorated, gold and silver assets were often sold to drum up cash for those who needed it, resulting in lower prices.<\/p>\n

But both gold and silver rebounded after that, with gold nearly tripling from its 2008 lows and silver more than quintupling from its 2008 lows by 2011. So that\u2019s something to keep in mind when it comes to buying gold and silver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even a bullish outlook for the future doesn\u2019t mean that silver and gold are necessarily going to keep rising straight upward. But as with many other assets, sticking with them despite temporary setbacks can often be the way to ensure that you benefit from future price growth.<\/p>\n
