"AS LONG AS CONFIDENCE IN THE US ECONOMY IS NOT SHAKEN..."

Prof. Dr. Ata Özkaya, evaluating this decline in gold markets and global balances, made important statements during a live broadcast on 24 TV. Özkaya noted that for gold to turn upward again, the pieces in global markets need to shift, and said: "For gold to surge again, confidence in the US economy and the perception of its ability to service its debts will need to deteriorate. For now, such a situation and perception shift are not present in the markets."
