Gundlach: "When Deutsche Bank Goes To Single Digits People Will Start To Panic" Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:47 AM PDT Following today's Fed minutes release, Jeff Gundlach had a far less "uncertain" message: "Things are shaky and feeling dangerous," Gundlach told Reuters in a telephone interview. It's not just stocks that Gundlach was not too excited about, he also had some choice words about buying Treasuries here. "You're seeing people who hated the '2 percent' 10-year suddenly loving it at a 1.38-1.39 percent revisit of the all-time low closing yield," Gundlach said.

According to Reuters' Jennifer Ablan, Gundlach said that "gold remains the best investment amid fears of instability in the European Union and prolonged global stagnation, as well as concerns over the effectiveness of central bank policies." Gundlach, a staunch supporter of the precious metal, sees gold rising to $1400 an ounce this year. "I am not selling gold." Read the entire article
