Gold has been disappointing so far. However, Goehring & Rozencwajg managing partner Leigh Goehring says gold could see a trend reversal in the second half of the year. "That is when the second leg of the bull market will start,” he added, as quoted by Kitco.com. Inflation, he notes, will be the catalyst to get gold moving again, adding that, "Variety of economists out there are saying that inflation will not be a problem because we got too much debt. That belief is going to be unraveled by a black swan event that is perceived as being massively inflationary." Better, Leigh Goehring believes we could eventually see $15,000 before the gold market is over.
