He doesn\u2019t come from the political establishment so people are not sure which direction [policies will turn],which is good. It is good because you can\u2019t always be predicted but for gold it is even better because gold thrives well in situations of uncertainty not in the same country but in other countries,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Aubynn stated that investors are very analytical and risk averse hence will always respond to speculation to secure their investment.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that gold has been a safe investment for investors anytime situations on the stock market get volatile.<\/p>\n<p>He maintained that with the level of anxiety surrounding the Trump administration, investors will always get edgy which may be good for gold since price of the commodity will go up once demand increases.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/2017\/01\/30\/trump-executive-order-white-house-stands-firm-over-travel-ban\/trumps-order\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-289390\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-289390\" src=\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/trumps-order.jpg\" alt=\"trumps-order\" width=\"624\" height=\"351\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen there are uncertainties in America gold benefits, when there uncertainties in Europe gold benefits, when there is Brexit [and] people are unsure, gold benefits. So we hope to take advantage of that. The issue of Brexit is not settled so that creates some uncertainty,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Outlining some positive predictions for the sector, Dr. Aubynn stated that the World Bank has also made some favorable predictions on this year\u2019s good price.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to gold prices, I am very careful because you need to have the insight to look deep into the crystal ball before you can make the prediction. However, the World Bank is looking at a positive gold price this year\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>President Trump<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>President Trump has made some pronouncements targeting high taxes at foreign companies that operate in the US. He has also threatened to impose levies on goods imported from Asia into America.
