Summary
Stackers CEO Jo Gyu-won discusses the recent 16% gold price correction, arguing it is a normal pullback within a long-term bull cycle driven by tight supply, strong central bank buying, and deglobalization. He expects the gold rally to persist until at least 2030, with the June FOMC decision as a key catalyst. The conversation also covers parallels to 1974, the impact of real interest rates, and structural constraints on gold mining.
- Gold's 16% correction is historically normal and not a cycle end.
- Gold supply is structurally constrained by long mine development timelines and ESG regulations.
- Central bank gold buying hit 244t in Q1, matching a typical annual pace.
- De-dollarization and geopolitical instability are driving secular gold demand.
- A rate hike driven by inflation fears could trigger gold rallies, mirroring 1974.
- June FOMC is the key near-term catalyst for gold direction.
- Gold's bull cycle likely extends to 2030–2032 due to supply timing.
- Real interest rates, not nominal rates, are the primary gold price driver.
