Özgür Demirtaş argued that gold prices are being deliberately suppressed and stated that, due to global developments, the 7,000-dollar level is inevitable in the long term.
Renowned economist Prof. Dr. Özgür Demirtaş drew attention with his statements evaluating the fluctuations in gold markets. Emphasizing that investors should not panic, Demirtaş stated that the "big picture" points upward for gold.
“THIS IS NOT A DECLINE, BUT SUPPRESSION”
Demirtaş claimed that the current price movements are not a decline but a deliberate suppression process. The economist, who does not interpret the $4,500-$4,700 band as a "collapse," expressed that these levels are an "accumulation zone" where large investors are positioning.
3 FACTORS THAT WILL DRIVE GOLD UPWARDS
Demirtaş, defining gold not just as an investment tool but as a "trust tool," highlighted three main factors that will drive prices upwards. The increasing economic cost of US-Iran tensions, central banks shifting from the dollar to gold, and the deepening trust crisis in the global system were cited as the fundamental dynamics of this process.
“DOUBLE EFFECT” WARNING FOR TURKEY
Demirtaş, also making assessments specific to Turkey, stated that keeping the exchange rate under pressure is not sustainable. He mentioned that if the movement in the exchange rate combines with the global ounce increase, a "mathematical leap" could occur in gold prices.
“OPPORTUNITY COMES IN SILENCE”
Calling on investors to act rationally, Demirtaş used the expressions, "The market gives you opportunity not when the noise starts, but when everything is quiet. When the TVs say 'gold is soaring,' it's already too late."
$7,000 SCENARIO
Demirtaş argued that gold will first exceed $5,000, then $5,500 levels, and progress towards $7,000. He stated that this process is not a prediction but a natural outcome of the system.
