John Paulson is now also bullish on gold after 15 years and expects its price to reach ~$5,000 per ounce by 2028. He is the largest shareholder in Perpetua Resources. On April 29, Reuters reported that in a recent interview, Paulson reinforced that his conviction in gold is underpinned by the analysis of central bank buying trends and rising global trade tensions. He highlighted the inclination of central banks and individuals to seek stable stores of value now and suggested that gold will therefore enhance its global standing. Paulson believes that the Western confiscation of Russia's foreign reserve holdings following the Ukraine invasion is one of the reasons behind the anticipated appreciation of gold prices.
