Brien Lundin: Gold Price Below US$4,000, Next Trigger to Watch

The potential bursting of the AI bubble poses a significant threat to current market stability, likely triggering a liquidity vacuum that will temporarily drag down gold, silver, and mining stocks. Despite these short-term risks, the long-term outlook for precious metals remains bullish, as a major equity sell-off will force the Federal Reserve to abandon its hawkish rate-hike campaign. Brien Lundin, editor of *Gold Newsletter* and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference, highlights that current market corrections represent a generational buying opportunity for investors. Furthermore, the mining sector is shifting toward direct equity investments in junior companies, replacing traditional joint ventures to streamline development. While inflation remains stubborn due to supply shocks and geopolitical tensions, gold stands out as a high-conviction sector for 2027, driven by the inevitable necessity for central bank intervention amidst rising national debt and deficits.
