EXCLUSIVE: 'The Big Short' Actor Danny Moses Foresees Massive Gold Surge — Expects Prices to 'Double from Current Levels'

Gold's Evolving Role: From Safe Haven to Market Leader

For years, gold has been viewed primarily as a form of financial protection—reliable, but rarely the center of excitement. However, Danny Moses, a trader recognized from The Big Short, believes that perception is outdated. In a recent interview with Benzinga, Moses made a bold prediction: "Gold prices are set to double in the coming years."

According to Moses, this shift is already underway.

He remarked, "I think that already happened in 2025," highlighting how gold and silver have outperformed most other investments. In his assessment, precious metals have quietly moved from being mere hedges to taking on a leading role, driven by enduring economic trends.

What Sets This Gold Rally Apart?

Moses differentiates between the forces behind silver and gold. Silver’s surge, he explains, is rooted in simple supply and demand: "Current demand for silver far exceeds available supply, and there’s no immediate solution," as industries like solar energy, electric vehicles, and AI data centers require increasing amounts of the metal.

Gold’s momentum, on the other hand, is less about limited supply and more about confidence. Moses points out, "Central banks worldwide have become the largest buyers of physical gold, using it as protection against their own policy missteps"—a trend he expects to persist into 2026. Additionally, investor interest through ETFs continues to rise, leading to what he describes as ongoing "market dislocations."

Expect Swings Before Rewards

Moses cautions that the path forward won’t be smooth. "Naturally, there could be pullbacks, and volatility is likely to continue," he notes. Still, he believes the long-term outlook for gold remains strong, as more investors add it to their portfolios—whether through ETFs, mining stocks, or direct ownership.

While the idea of gold doubling in value may seem dramatic, Moses’s track record is built on identifying risks before they become obvious to the broader market. This time, he’s closely watching currencies, central bank actions, and overall market confidence—convinced that gold’s significance is poised for a major resurgence.
