2017 Predictions: Gold - Stocks - Trump - Putin - Military Action

Jason Hamlin, who provides consulting services for Fortune 500 companies around the globe, has made some predictions for 2017 on the most important points.

The gold price will rise above $ 1,500 in 2017, with the potential to revert back to historic highs in the event of a currency crisis, major war, or other negative event. Since December 2015, gold has again entered a multi-year growth cycle.

The Fed will not be able to continue to raise interest rates for one or two tokens, increasing by 25 basis points. They could change course by the end of 2017 to support falling stock prices and avoid another Great Recession.

The U.S. trade war with China will come when President Trump applies his business negotiation skills to the political arena. New tariffs imposed by the US, higher prices for imports from China, will slow trade between the two countries.

Major military conflicts can break out in several places. Hamlin writes, “I hate making this prediction, but tensions with China are high over Taiwan and the disputed islands in the South China Sea. Although I hope that relations with Russia will improve with Trump as president, NATO will continue to tease the "bear" by surrounding military bases, missile defense systems, imposing new sanctions, and so on. North Korea will also continue to build up its nuclear capabilities with the potential to reach the western United States over the next few years. I hope that these conflicts can be resolved diplomatically and will not escalate into a full-scale war. "
