What Could Trigger Gold To Take Off In 2016?

Speaking to Teresa Matich of Investing News Network, Frank Holmes discusses the current gold price and where he sees the yellow metal moving in 2016. Frank points out that a strong dollar has been positive for many gold mining companies outside of the U.S. He specifically notes that in countries like Canada and Australia, some gold producers were up as much as 700 percent in a year.

Frank believes that inflation needs to rise while rates do not rise, calling this the “trigger for gold to take off” in 2016. Watch the full interview for Frank’s stock picks as well as his price target for the precious metal this year.
