Peter Spina, CEO of GoldSeek.com, shared that Bessent has set a goal to reduce the deficit to 3% of U.S. GDP, but the 2026 budget gap was estimated at 6.2% of GDP, up from 5.8% for fiscal 2025.

UBS recently maintained its forecast for gold to reach $5,000 in 2027, expecting two Federal Reserve rate hikes by March. A Reuters survey cited in the same report placed the 2027 median gold price lower, at $4,650. Peter Spina has also commented on precious metals, describing silver as a strong buy given rising mining costs.
