John Paulson sees gold rising to almost $5,000 in 3 years

John Paulson, who made a killing during the great financial crisis, sees gold rising to almost $5,000 an ounce by 2028 amid trade tensions and central banks' buying, according to an interview with Reuters.

Gold is widely viewed as a safe-haven asset and a hedge against rising global uncertainties. The bullion climbed in an unprecedented rally to notch a record high at $3,500.05 an ounce last week.

"It's a well-informed prediction. I think that's a reasonable number," Paulson said. "As central banks and people look to put their money in a more stable source … I think gold will increase its position in the world."

The famed investor is the largest shareholder in Idaho gold and antimony developer Perpetua Resources. He also bought a 40% stake in NovaGold's Donlin gold project in Alaska from Barrick.

Some economists now see economy contracting in Q1

Multiple Wall Street economists now expect the Commerce Department to report Thursday that the U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter.

Following a report Wednesday that the U.S. goods trade deficit swelled to a record $162 billion in March, the view on the gross domestic product report turned sour.

Goldman Sachs cut its Q1 outlook to -0.8% annualized from the fourth quarter of 2024, a move it attributed to the 9.6% increase in the goods deficit due to "an increase in imports of consumer goods, likely reflecting front-loading of imports ahead of tariff increases." Previously, Goldman was looking for a 0.2% decline.

Likewise, Jefferies now sees a GDP drop of 0.2%, down from a previous forecast of a 0.9% increase. BNP Paribas cut its outlook by a full percentage point, down to -0.6%. JPMorgan chief U.S. economist Michael Gapen told C온라인카지노사이트 he expects GDP to contract 1.5%.

Wolfe Research indicates stagflation fears

Near-term economic indicators could signal stagflation — or high inflation, high unemployment and low growth — according to Wolfe Research. This could further depress equities, the firm added. 

"Although initial jobless claims have yet to signal that hiring is rolling over and the economy is weakening in real time, with CEO confidence falling and business investment on hold due to the overhang of tariff policy, our sense is we could see a weaker payrolls report on the horizon," chief investment strategist Chris Senyek wrote in a note Tuesday.

A flurry of economic reports, including GDP numbers for the first quarter, the PCE price index and consumer spending numbers for March are expected Wednesday morning.

S&P 500 could fall to 4,600, Deutsche Bank strategist says

The S&P 500 is trading in a wide range on tariff uncertainty, and could fall as low as 4,600 before rising again, according to Deutsche Bank.

"We think of the S&P 500 basically inhabiting a very wide range, all the way down to 4,600, which we actually haven't been to in the pullback so far. And that would correspond to, you know, typical recession sell down, 25% down, from the peak," Deutsche's Binky Chadha told C온라인카지노사이트's "Money Movers." "I would put the upper end basically where our measures say equity positioning would be neutral."

"So, you're caught between, you know, these rallies on the trade relents and positive news and potential for trade deals, and on the other side, the economy is weakening, so I would argue it's still wide," Chadha added.

Chadha expects the S&P 500 will end the year at 6,150. The broad market index was last around 5,540.

Although weakness in U.S. equities is likely to occur in the next couple of weeks, pullbacks will be short-lived, according to RBC Capital Markets.

'Significant risks' April payroll number will miss Street estimates, Apollo's Slok says

"There are significant risks" Friday's nonfarm payroll report for April will miss Wall Street consensus estimates calling for an increase of 130,000 jobs, and might even be negative, Apollo Global Management chief economist Torsten Slok told clients Tuesday.

Slok said the establishment survey and the household survey were both conducted the week that high tariffs were announced earlier this month, when there were "extreme levels of uncertainty for businesses."

"Some leading indicators suggest we could see a dramatic weakening in the labor market over the coming months," Slok wrote.

Spending on big-ticket items surged in April ahead of tariff impact, Barclays says

Consumer spending data for April may show a strong increase as U.S. consumers try to stock up ahead of potential price hikes from tariffs.

Barclays analyst Haviland Sheldahl-Thomason said in a note to clients that consumers seem to be aware of the potential effects of tariffs in the weeks ahead and have been spending accordingly.

"Spend on electronics, wholesale, and big ticket goods has surged in April compared to last year as consumers may be stocking up before tariff implementation," Sheldahl-Thomason said.

This jump in spending could boost some large retailers.

"Best Buy is again the store with the highest growth in transactions, followed closely by Costco. It should be noted that transactions at Costco have been up for most of 2025, but there is still a notable uptick in their transactions post-Liberation Day," the note said.

Sheldahl-Thomason did say that some seasonal factors, such as the timing of Easter, could also be contributing to spending changes.
