Gold Editorials & Commentary

Remember when miners were very strong relative to gold and USD in 2011? Guess what. Taking the time factor into account makes both situations even more alike.

Gold is close to staging a massive breakout above the key $3440 price zone… and it’s possible that a shocking PCE inflation report on Friday could be the catalyst for the launch.

The best-performing precious metal for the past week was palladium, up 2.41%. Michael Ball, technical analyst at Bloomberg, notes that the gold-silver ratio is at a technical crossroads, caught between gold’s consolidation and silver’s relative strength. While gold...

Gold has been on quite the bull run, up 26 percent in 2024 and another 27 percent so far this year. This impressive run occurred despite American investors largely remaining on the sidelines.

Share prices for precious metals mining companies finally started responding to higher metal prices. The XAU -- a popular index fund containing publicly traded companies mining for both gold and silver -- began a run higher 18 months ago after going nowhere for the...

Fed Chair Jerome Powell sent stocks skyrocketing back up to the moon today by saying the economy was doing poorly, so he might have to cut interest rates. There is nothing the modern stock market loves so much as a crash into cash.

Another great week for precious metals. Another week where we saw gold underperformed the rest of the sector. Gold was higher thanks to the action on Friday, but the rest of the sector; the stocks, they're continuing to outperform the metals.

In this week’s episode of the Money Metals Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explored the parallels between Iran’s recent currency redenomination and the United States’ long history of monetary debasement. 

Well, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has given an "all-clear signal" for gold and silver to move higher with his remarks at Jackson Hole on Friday.

In Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s address yesterday (Friday) from ever-stunningly magnificent Jackson Hole, how many times did he say either the word “reduce” or “cut”?

Friday was a big day for the stock market.  Many stock indexes closed at, or very near a new all-time high.  As for the Dow Jones (my proxy for the broad-stock market), at this week’s close, it saw its 56th BEV Zero, new all-time high in its BEV chart below, since...

Earlier this month, Citi raised its gold forecast. Another big bank, UBS, has now followed suit. The Swiss investment bank nudged its Q1 2026 forecast gold price by $100 to $3,600 an ounce. This would mean new record highs over the next six months or so.

In this video, I'm going to talk about my gold price forecast, or more so expectations for next year and into 2027. Now forecasts and predictions, I don't think they're really valuable or help people make

Goldman Sachs has a new report out on the gold market, that some are describing as 'the ultimate gold market primer.' What's inside?

Gold is revolution against an expiring system that is still limping along. The expiring system (in progress for years, actual expiration date unknown) has limped along, through Fed (monetary) and government (fiscal) oversight, fabulously enriching the rich and...

“If government spending is cut too fast, we’ll end up in a recession,” is a popular warning against cutting massive federal spending. But is it true? Will cutting federal spending really sink the economy into a recession? To answer this question, we need careful...

In this video, I am going to explain why gold and silver stocks are hitting their prime window right now to outperform gold and silver as well.

Especially when it’s a $0.01 that invalidates a major breakout. Then it becomes a major sell signal. We just saw that in the GDXJ.

My broader view on the S&P500 (SPX) is that we are coming to the conclusion of a rally, which can represent a major long-term top in the United States equity market.    This would conclude an almost 100-year bull market which began at the bottom of the market...
