When it comes to gold, prices are driven by either love or fear, said Frank Holmes, CEO of U.S. Global Investors.
"There's two drivers to the price of gold: the fear trade, which dominates the psychic of North Americans, and the love trade, which is China, India, known as 'Chindia,' the Middle East; 60% to 70% of all gold demand is based on love, and that is the key long-term factor," Holmes told Kitco News.
Holmes noted that behind the "love trade" is growing wealth, measured by rising gross domestic product per capita.
