T & K Futures and Options Inc. Predicts New Highs for Gold Futures in 2007

Port St. Lucie, FL (PRWeb) February 23, 2007 -- Michael Smith, President of T & K Futures and Options Inc. predicts "a lower US Dollar and higher crude oil prices may push gold futures prices to new highs in 2007."

Gold seems to have found a place in many investors' long term investment portfolios. Gold has been called a safe haven investment and a hedge against inflation but in our opinion the reasons for higher gold futures prices in 2007 will be a continued weakening of the US Dollar versus other currencies and higher crude oil prices.

In 2006 gold futures prices reached $750 an ounce. Coincidentally, the US Dollar was declining rapidly and oil futures prices were rallying near record highs during this same time frame.

Why would the US Dollar decline more in 2007? There are a few possible catalysts that may push the US Dollar lower this year. The huge US deficit, the war in Iraq and the largest US consumer debt ratio per capita in history are just a few reasons the US Dollar may lose some of its safe haven aura and send investor capital flooding the gold futures and gold options.

What would make crude oil prices rise in 2007? Middle East conflicts, high global demand and OPEC's inability (excluding Saudi Arabia) to increase current production capacity are a few of the possible reasons for higher crude oil prices this year. When one considers that nearly 20% of the entire world's crude oil has to come through the Strait of Hormuz, the current nuclear agenda and aggression exhibited from Iran makes the interruption of a huge portion of the global supply of crude oil a potential reality.

The Department of Energy reported that demand was not diminished greatly by the record crude oil supplies last year. In other words, it will most likely take much higher crude oil prices to subdue global economic expansion and therefore, the world's appetite for crude oil. High crude oil prices infer higher inflation levels which may send investors scurrying to gold futures and gold options as an inflationary hedge.
