Gold will rise 100%, but what about digital gold?
Ronald-Peter Stoeferle, Managing Partner of Incrementum AG, recently joined David Lin for a discussion. During the conversation, Stoeferle addressed the changing sentiments towards gold as a safe haven asset in light of recent market dynamics.
He was asked about the perception of gold transitioning from a safe-haven hedge to a higher-risk asset and its correlation with various sectors. Lin also noted its alignment with equities, technology stocks and, notably, Bitcoinindicating a growing investor sentiment towards alternatives investments.
Analyst forecasts and price expectations
Reflecting on current market perceptions of gold, Stoeferle shared his perspective on its value. Despite gold’s inflation-adjusted affordability compared to all-time highs, he noted a prevalent skepticism among investors. Many, he noted, are inclined to consider selling rather than buying at current levels, reflecting the subdued bullish sentiment in Western markets.
Long-term perspectives and projections
Looking ahead, Stoeferle referenced consensus forecasts from big-name Wall Street analysts, who predict modest future prices for gold. He pointed to median estimates of $2,000 for 2026 and $1,700 for 2028.
Despite prevailing sentiments, Stoeferle remained optimistic about gold’s long-term prospects. He discussed projections from Incrementum AG, predicting prices potentially exceeding $4,000 to $4,800 by 2030.
Bitcoin vs. Gold: A Comparative Analysis
Stoeferle also opened up about the initial resistance faced by the Bitcoin and gold communities. He noted the emotional nature surrounding these assets, describing Bitcoin as a teenager with its rapid evolution compared to gold’s millennia-long history.
Addressing recent market dynamics, Stoeferle acknowledged disappointment among some investors following Bitcoin’s recent performance, but emphasized the post-halving period as historically favorable. He anticipated Bitcoin potentially outperforming gold in the coming years, especially as institutional adoption continues to grow, marked by milestones such as ETF Launches.
