"Bold gold price forecasts and geopolitical analysis linking Middle East conflict to commodity markets"
Biography
Simon Hunt is a geopolitical and market strategist known for his bold macroeconomic forecasts that connect global conflict, monetary policy shifts, and commodity price movements. Through his advisory service, Simon Hunt Strategic Services, he provides research to institutional and retail investors focused on the intersection of geopolitics and financial markets, with a particular emphasis on gold, copper, and the broader commodity complex.
Hunt has gained significant attention in the resource investment community for his provocative price targets and geopolitical analysis. He has forecast gold prices reaching extraordinary levels—citing figures as high as $38,000 per ounce—based on his thesis that Western economic dominance is collapsing, BRICS nations are accumulating gold reserves, and escalating conflicts in the Middle East will trigger a monetary reset. His analysis weaves together stagflationary pressures, de-dollarization trends, and supply constraints in key industrial metals like copper.
A frequent guest on financial media channels including Wealthion, CapitalCosm, and various YouTube-based investment platforms, Hunt has built a following among precious metals investors and those positioning portfolios for what he describes as a systemic economic transformation between 2025 and 2028. His work draws on a network of insider sources and decades of experience observing global trade flows and geopolitical power dynamics.
While his most aggressive price predictions place him at the speculative end of the forecasting spectrum, Hunt's analysis of copper supply-demand fundamentals and BRICS monetary policy developments has attracted serious attention from commodity investors. His research connects real-world industrial demand trends with macro-level monetary shifts, offering investors a framework for understanding how geopolitical escalation could drive both precious and industrial metals prices.

WW3 by 2028? US-Iran War & $15,000 Gold | Simon Hunt
- Top takeaway Argues a world war is inevitable, with his work currently favoring a 2030-32 window but warning it could begin in 2028 if the major US attack on Iran he expects in late 2027 draws in Russia or China.
- Expects a limited US 'mini-attack' on Iran before the end of 2026, followed by a major air-and-land invasion he dates to late 2027, and says Iran is prepared for a long war.
- Forecasts crude oil near $150 a barrel, gasoline at $6.50 and diesel above $9 a gallon by the end of 2026, and expects the resulting cost pressure plus tighter central bank policy to push America and most of the world into recession in 2027.
- Sees gold in a bull market that may still decline further before the main advance, calling for a minimum price of about $15,000 an ounce by 2030 and advising investors to rotate equity-rally profits into physical gold held outside the banking system.
- Takes a non-consensus copper view: a recession should cut consumption faster than supply, causing a correction in 2027, before war-driven demand and returning liquidity lift prices to a 2030 peak that, in 2026 dollars, is back near today's level given his forecast of a roughly 50% dollar-index decline by 2030-32.
Simon Hunt argues a world war is inevitable — his base case 2030-32, possibly 2028 if America's planned late-2027 attack on Iran escalates. He expects crude near $150 and diesel above $9 a gallon by year-end, arguing refined products — diesel, jet fuel, fertilizer — do the economic damage. Gold gets a $15,000 minimum target by 2030; Hunt advises selling equity rallies and holding physical gold outside the banking system. Non-consensus copper call: recession should cut consumption faster than supply next year, before war-driven liquidity revives prices toward a 2030 peak. A forecast 50% dollar index decline by 2030-32 means nominal commodity records may mask flat real prices, favoring physical assets and self-sufficiency.

GOLD 'Going Higher' as US Prepares 'MASSIVE Attack' on Iran: Simon Hunt

The geopolitical conflict is expected to escalate and persist through the 2030s, potentially involving China and Russia kinetically.
