Gold rebound coming in 2015: George Gero during a CNBC interview for “Futures Now”

It hasn't been a great couple of years to be a gold bug. Since peaking at $1,923.70 per troy ounce in September 2011, gold has lost nearly 40 percent of its value. And while gold hasn't dropped dramatically this year, it has failed to gain back.

But according to George Gero of RBC Capital Markets, the bullion trade is set to turn around in 2015.

"The decline from the $1,900s down to the $1,150s is a major decline, and it was reflected by all the funds fleeing gold and running into better-performing assets, whether it's equities or debt, and that's been continuing," Gero said Tuesday on CNBC's "Futures Now."

Gero acknowledges that "crude selling off, and OPEC possibly doing nothing about it, helping crude stay weak, is anti-inflationary—so the people that have been looking for inflation haven't really found it."

But he adds that "now you're going to see some changes based on all the stimulus in Europe, in China and in Japan."

So how high could gold go?

"I'm looking at $1,300 to $1,400 as a closing price one year from now," he said.
