David Hunter, a veteran macro strategist, forecasts that gold could reach $7,000 and silver $200 relatively soon, with longer-term targets of $20,000 for gold and $1,000 for silver in the early 2030s, driven by global money creation, currency debasement, and a weakening US dollar, while acknowledging that a major global economic downturn could temporarily correct prices before the long-term uptrend resumes.

"50X MOVE AHEAD! STOP Everything, If You Own GOLD or SILVER, You Need to See THIS NOW!" David HunterAdded:
Uh yesterday I raised my target to 7,000. Um I think, you know, a lot of his monetary we're obviously seeing all kinds of um you know, money printing around the world. Not so much short-term here, but but over over time that's been the case. I think you're you're going to see a a very weak dollar going forward.
I think that will be part of the move from, you know, 4,400 up to 7,000. And yesterday I increased my target to 200.
So, that's where I'm at. I know there are few people out there higher than me, but not too many. Most, you know, Michael Oliver's the high guy out there on the street talking about three to $500.
And saying it could happen this summer.
I think my 200 could happen this summer.
Doesn't have to, but I think it could.
And then, coming out of that global bust, my longer-term um forecast for gold is and target for gold is 20,000.
My longer-term target for silver, uh which for a long time was uh four or $500, I raised that to 1,000 recently.
So, I I see that as probably sometime out in the early 2030s.
>> David Hunter has become increasingly bullish on precious metals, recently raising his gold target to $7,000 and his silver target to $200. He believes continued global money creation, currency debasement, and a weakening US dollar will be key drivers of the next major move higher in both metals. While he sees the possibility of silver reaching $200 relatively soon, he notes that some analysts have even more aggressive forecasts. Looking further ahead, David Hunter expects a major global economic downturn to ultimately push gold toward $20,000 and silver toward $1,000, potentially during the early 2030s as investors seek protection from financial instability. The speaker, David Hunter, a veteran macro strategist and contrarian investor, encourages investors to focus on the bigger picture rather than short-term price movements, arguing that gold and silver have already delivered significant gains over the past several years. He views the recent pullback as a normal consolidation following a powerful rally with geopolitical uncertainty surrounding Iran providing an additional reason for investors to reduce risk.
Based on current technical patterns and market resilience, Hunter expects gold and silver to resume their uptrend and sees a path toward his targets of $7,000 gold and $200 silver.

>> Yeah, well, I I'm forever telling people on X to um stretch their their time horizon and and have for you know, stretch out their their um viewpoint have perception um cuz I think you you can or have perspective because I think you can get caught up in the day-to-day and it seemed like forever if you're watching if you're watching the the price day by day when it when it takes a month to move everybody's going oh, it's it's stuck in the mud. What's going on? Um when you're looking at a picture that's you know, 20 years or 10 years or even 5 years, you get an entirely different perspective. I mean, gold had a great run from from the low 2000s to 5500 in a couple years, you know, a few years.
Um and people people then expect it to do that all the time. It's like they, you know, and it is moving.
Um so so what we've had since February, we had, you know, the the big run-up to 5,500. That was a a big jump. I mean, we were down at 3,000 not long before that. So that was a big run. Um it needed to consolidate that. And it it did that initially in February. And then and then the Iran war started in, you know, right as March 1st came.
And again, the metals are risk off. I mean, they are they I mean, they are risk on. And so when when the market decided, when investors decided it's time to take some chips off table to reduce our risk because of what's going on in Iran, um it wasn't just stock market. It was metals that got hit. So I think, you know, number one, it was a big run-up, so it it deserved a consolidation of a few months. And number two, the Iran war gave it an excuse to to carry that. The The first sell-off in February could have been it if we hadn't had Iran, but it probably makes more sense that it did need more time to consolidate. So I don't view it as anything but just a normal consolidation. I know there are people talking bearishly and lower prices and it has to go back to whatever, you know, below 4,000. Um I don't think so. I think we're very close to a turn here.
Um could be any day now. And I think it's off to the races again now.
Obviously, Iran's still sitting out there as a as a problem until that, you know, if we get a negotiated settlement and the strait opens up and oil prices come down and it looks like um Iran's been resolved at least for, you know, a quite a while. Um I think that will that will cheer up investors everywhere. You know, stocks, bonds, um everything. So, Iran still kind of the big the big thing sitting out there that needs to get resolved, but you know, it's hard to know you know, the Iranians play games. They talk like they're going to you know, meet meet you and and have a settlement and then then the you know, the terms change or they make ridiculous statements or what have you. I think you just have to let that play out.
You can't guess it. Um but I do feel looking at just looking at the markets themselves without you know, without trying to guess Iran it does look like we're very close to a turn in the metals and I think it will be off to the races. Um you've got obviously at any time if a if a market and obviously going back to early February, you had a very overbought market. Um when you when you get something like an uncertainty of a war, it's obviously going to change the psyche of investors.
It's obviously going to have them it's it's actually remarkable where where that we're where we are. I mean people forget um in February um February it was yeah, before the I think before Iran, it was either February or early March. Um silver was down to 62.
And at $62 and and gold had fallen down to 4200 I think it was maybe it's slightly below that.
Um we're above those numbers.
The Iran war is not resolved yet.
Um it's remarkable they've held steady.
I I think the look there is very bullish. We've got you know, wedge pattern in in both that look like they resolved to the upside in a in a pretty vertical way.
Uh so I I think it's just a matter of probably days before we're off to the races again. Who knows for sure? But, um, I do think it's going to be a strong summer. And you could get all the way to my targets by Labor Day. You might not.
If it stretches, you know, for another month two or three, who cares? But, I'm just saying it could happen that fast that we go from, you know, silver at 73 to silver at 200.
We could go, you know, gold at 4,400 or slightly below to, you know, to gold 7,000. Those are remarkable runs if they can happen in the next three or four months.
>> David Hunter remains bullish on silver, arguing that growing demand from solar energy, EVs, AI infrastructure, and other emerging technologies should continue to support the market. While he acknowledges that some substitution with cheaper metals like copper may occur, he does not believe it will significantly alter the overall supply-demand balance.
However, Hunter expects a major global economic downturn similar to 2008 09 could trigger a sharp correction in both gold and silver as industrial demand weakens and investors reduce exposure to risk assets. Even so, he views any such decline as temporary and maintains an extremely bullish long-term outlook, projecting gold could eventually reach $20,000 and silver $1,000 in the early 2030s. Hunter also notes that market sentiment tends to be most optimistic near major tops and most pessimistic near bottoms, which is why investors should be cautious when enthusiasm becomes widespread and excessive. Let's dive into the interview.
>> I I'm not sure where they're coming up with that. You don't know exactly whether somebody's got a preordained view of where silver should go after a big run, and so they're just coming up with a a reasoning, a rationale for that or what, but you know, we we all hear that the the amount of silver required in in all these new technologies, including AI, and EV, obviously, and solar panels, etc. Silver silver demand is growing, it's not shrinking.
And yes, I I think I know where it's coming from.
There's been talk about substitutions with copper and things like that to try to you know, and that's that's a an economic postulate that's been around forever.
It's when when prices rise for one good, you find a substitution if you can. So, you know, that can happen at the margin.
I don't think it changes the supply-demand picture in any meaningful way that would cause silver to sell off in any big way. And and those changes happen slowly. You can't immediately just say, "Okay, we're substituting copper for silver, or we're doing this or that, or we're we're just going to stop production cuz silver is too high."
So, and and you've obviously heard the government say, "We're going to include silver in those those strategic metals that we need to kind of make sure we can can keep the supply coming." So, I think I think you And the other thing about silver is it is a monetary um metal as well. It's you know, yes, supply demand from an industrial standpoint is is more important silver than gold, but silver is still poor man's gold. You know, when gold moves because it's $4,400 on its way to 7,000, there are lots of people that would prefer to buy silver at $75. So, so I I it has a monetary component even though it is more of an industrial metal than gold is. So, I you know, I could be wrong, but I don't think demand destruction is is the reason to be concerned here.
I will say where where I think demand destruction will take place uh is not for that reason so much, um but because where I you know, I have a a global bust forecast for next year, um could start late this year even, um but um if we go into global bust, which you know, just simply I'd say is something along the lines of 2008-9, where you have a big financial crisis accompanied by a a pretty severe downturn in the economy, um if we see that, you're going to see demand in all industrial goods, um you know, fall. And silver will will see that as well. So, I that's where I think you can get the big correction in in the metals. You If If I'm right about targets or anywhere close, you know, you could have gold at 7,000 and see it fall maybe maybe to 4,000 or below. And you know, certainly it back to 4,000 uh in a bust. If silver goes to 200 and I'm right that that's where it goes to, you know, silver could fall by more than 50% in a bust. So, that's where I think you'll see the big correction. And And by the way, that should not be um something that shocks people. We just came through silver going from 122 to 60 and to to basically low 60s. So, it got cut in half in a matter of days or in a matter of a couple weeks. So, so it's not uh it's not beyond belief to say that in a global downturn, silver could get hit by more than 50% um and gold could get hit by, you know, certainly 30 or 40 percent. So, so that's where I think um you would you do get a big correction and then coming out of that global bust, my longer-term um forecast for gold is and target for gold is 20,000.
My long-term target for silver, uh which for a long time was uh four or five hundred dollars, I raised that to a thousand recently. So, I I see that as probably sometime out in the early 2030s.
Um so, you have to go through probably a weakness next year and then, you know, '28 to say 2032 could be, you know, unbelievable in terms of the the kind of price rises we see in the precious metals. History will tell you at market tops you have the most people invested at market bottoms you have the least people invested. So, people people tend to buy at tops and sell at bottoms or [snorts] and, you know, in between, but but so momentum, you know, FOMO, um you know, momentum of the tape is what I call it is what pulls investors to the bullish side. Uh they can talk all they want about fundamentals, technicals, etc. Ultimately, it is momentum of the tape that kind of drives sentiment and and and people act on their sentiment.
Um I should say this cuz I'm not sure everybody understands this.
The reason The reason you want to be bearish when everybody's bullish is because people have already acted on that bullishness.
When when institutions are saying, you know, we're bullish to the moon, you know, we think I'm not saying they're saying that now, but when they say we're really optimistic, this thing can run for two or three years, that doesn't mean they're just beginning to invest. That means they've acted on that. When when strategists and institutional investors are saying uh I think this thing's going a lot lower, that doesn't mean they're about to sell. That means they've already sold. They're they've already acted on what they're telling you. So, when when everybody is fully bullish most of that's already taken place. And again, I'm not talking about I'm talking in generality. It doesn't mean there aren't still people buying every day, but but though when you answer your question, at the top everybody you know, both retail and institutional will be all in.
And that's why the next step will be to start moving it the other way. And then as they come out, they don't all you know, they don't just sell everything at the top or or after it will you know, starts rolling over they gradually the the the um de-accumulation stage or the you know, where they're where where they're taking money off the table where they're removing uh they're selling stocks, that happens through the entire bear market.
It doesn't it doesn't all happen at the you know, in most of it doesn't happen at the top.
Most of it happens closer to the bottom.
I am by the way, when we get into a bear market, it won't be you know, from 10,000 down I'm calling let's say I'm I'm calling for 80% um bear market. So, let's say 10,000 is the top on the S&P. That's 2,000 is where it would have fallen those numbers.
It's not going to go 10,000 to 2,000 in a month. You know, it's going to you might have a step down where you're down 20 or 30% and then you bounce. And then you go down again or you might go down you know, even a bigger step and then have a you know, you'll probably have at least one and probably two, maybe three bear market rallies within the bear market. So, you know, you could go down 40 or 50% and then that retrace half of that decline over two or three months and then down another, you know, 30 or 40% retrace that 50% or what have you. So, so it will take time for the bear market will play out over, you know, 8, 10, 12 months. It won't It won't be something that happens over a month.
>> Overall, the interview presents a strongly bullish long-term outlook for precious metals driven by monetary expansion, currency debasement, and growing industrial demand for silver.
While Hunter expects periods of volatility and even a major correction during a future global downturn, he believes the broader trend remains higher with gold and silver potentially reaching unprecedented levels later this decade and into the early 2030s. Could a future global financial crisis create the conditions for gold to reach $20,000 and silver $1,000 as the speaker forecasts? Will growing industrial demand from AI, solar energy, and electric vehicles be enough to offset any future slowdown in the global economy?
