$10,000 Gold?
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
SAN FRANCISCO – It has never been easy to have a rational conversation about the value of gold.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Lately, with gold prices up more than 300% over the last decade, it is harder than ever. Just last December, fellow economists Martin Feldstein and Nouriel Roubini each penned op-eds bravely questioning bullish market sentiment, sensibly pointing out gold’s risks.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Wouldn’t you know it?
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Since their articles appeared, the price of gold has moved up still further.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Gold prices even hit a record-high $1,300 recently.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Last December, many gold bugs were arguing that the price was inevitably headed for $2,000.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Now, emboldened by continuing appreciation, some are suggesting that gold could be headed even higher than that.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
One successful gold investor recently explained to me that stock prices languished for a more than a decade before the Dow Jones index crossed the 1,000 mark in the early 1980’s.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Since then, the index has climbed above 10,000.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Now that gold has crossed the magic $1,000 barrier, why can’t it increase ten-fold, too?
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Admittedly, getting to a much higher price for gold is not quite the leap of imagination that it seems.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
After adjusting for inflation, today’s price is nowhere near the all-time high of January 1980. Back then, gold hit $850, or well over $2,000 in today’s dollars.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
But January 1980 was arguably a “freak peak” during a period of heightened geo-political instability.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
At $1,300, today’s price is probably more than double very long-term, inflation-adjusted, average gold prices.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
So what could justify another huge increase in gold prices from here?
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
One answer, of course, is a complete collapse of the US dollar.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
With soaring deficits, and a rudderless fiscal policy, one does wonder whether a populist administration might recklessly turn to the printing press.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
And if you are really worried about that, gold might indeed be the most reliable hedge.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Sure, some might argue that inflation-indexed bonds offer a better and more direct inflation hedge than gold.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
But gold bugs are right to worry about whether the government will honor its commitments under more extreme circumstances.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
In fact, as Carmen Reinhart and I discuss in our recent book on the history of financial crises, This Time is Different, cash-strapped governments will often forcibly convert indexed debt to non-indexed debt, precisely so that its value might be inflated away.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Even the United States abrogated indexation clauses in bond contracts during the Great Depression of the 1930’s. So it can happen anywhere.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Even so, the fact that very high inflation is possible does not make it probable, so one should be cautious in arguing that higher gold prices are being driven by inflation expectations.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Some have argued instead that gold’s long upward march has been partly driven by the development of new financial instruments that make it easier to trade and speculate in gold.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
There is probably some slight truth – and also a certain degree of irony – to this argument.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
After all, medieval alchemists engaged in what we now consider an absurd search for ways to transform base metals into gold.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Wouldn’t it be paradoxical, then, if financial alchemy could make an ingot of gold worth dramatically more?
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
In my view, the most powerful argument to justify today’s high price of gold is the dramatic emergence of Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East into the global economy.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
As legions of new consumers gain purchasing power, demand inevitably rises, driving up the price of scarce commodities.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
At the same time, emerging-market central banks need to accumulate gold reserves, which they still hold in far lower proportion than do rich-country central banks.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
With the euro looking less appetizing as a diversification play away from the dollar, gold’s appeal has naturally grown.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
So, yes, there are solid fundamentals that arguably support today’s higher gold price, although it is far more debatable whether and to what extent they will continue to support higher prices in the future.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Indeed, another critical fundamental factor that has been sustaining high gold prices might prove far more ephemeral than globalization.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
Gold prices are extremely sensitive to global interest-rate movements.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
After all, gold pays no interest and even costs something to store.
Helsinki-NLP/news_commentary
