Four Experts Split on Gold, United on One Warning | This Week 'In Focus'
Jul 24, 2026 Market Updates and Analysis
Gold spent the week whipsawing around $4,000, and four very different experts gave Kitco four very different reads on why, and what happens next. They don't agree on the path. They do agree it's about something bigger than gold.
In this week's This Week in Focus, Kitco's Jeremy Szafron pulls the threads together: technical analyst Gary Wagner on the two levels that now define the range and why he walked back his $6,000 call; veteran trader Clem Chambers on why he thinks the bottom isn't in and why "gold is for war"; former BlackRock portfolio manager Ed Dowd on the road to $10,000 gold and how a private-credit crisis could reach ordinary pensions; and constitutional scholar William Watkins on the 1933 gold call-in, the "shell game" behind the dollar, and why sound money was meant to make war expensive.
