Why Gold And Silver May Crash: The Deflation Warning Experts Ignore
- Updated Jun 23, 2026 1:53 PM IST
Gold and silver may face significant pressure in the coming years if the global economy enters a deflationary phase, according to market strategist Amit Goel, Co-Founder & Chief Global Strategist, Pace 360. While many economists continue to expect an inflationary environment, Goel believes rising debt levels and the disinflationary impact of artificial intelligence could eventually push the world toward a deflationary spiral. He argues that precious metals may struggle in such an environment despite their recent strong performance. Amit Goel also noted that the enthusiasm seen in precious metals earlier this year resembled historical periods of extreme optimism that were often followed by prolonged corrections. While short-term trading opportunities may still emerge, he remains cautious on gold and silver as long-term investments at current levels.
