Small rate cuts are helping the economy and the stock market (slightly), but the largest moves are in gold, silver, and the miners. Why?

The best-performing precious metal for the week was silver, up 0.70%, with Friday’s gains nearly three times those of gold. Investors are starting to notice silver’s historic 3-to-1 beta relative to gold. Gold inched higher as traders weighed the Fed’s rate-cut...

As expected, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points last week. How will this impact the gold market? The cut was already priced into the markets. The real question is: what will the central bank do moving forward?

According to the US President Donald Trump, the Fed is failing at its job in supporting the economy by not lowering the policy interest rate. The president believes that the lowering of interest rates by the central bank will prompt businesses to increase production...

What do these important numbers mean to you: 113, 90, 79? No it’s not the code for hiking the football in another losing Kansas City Chiefs Super-Bowl game. It’s not the code for the padlock that should be used to lock Kash Patel out of his office before he can do...

The gold price is roaring again to start the week, and even set another new all-time record high this morning, But how high could the gold price go?

Chinese investment demand has served as one of the primary drivers of the gold bull run so far, but it has ebbed in recent weeks with a surge in the Chinese stock market. However, World Gold Council analyst Ray Jia says he expects investment demand to rebound amid...

I don’t want to once again write that “this time this is really it”, but it still seems that the end of the rally is near – if it wasn’t completed already.

So far so good, profits are incredible, gold miners are making money hand over fist and shareholders are reaping their rewards. The problems facing our gold producers are going to become apparent in the next few years.

For centuries, philosophers have compared the great questions (and mysteries) of life to a circle. That is: To fully understand the circle, you must also recognize its arcs, and to fully understand the arcs, you must see the circle.

We have three big factors in the economy showing breakaway trouble in the news today. One is a possible subprime crisis in auto loans where one of the nation’s largest financial institutions specializing in sub-prime loans for cars to people who have low credit...

We have to talk about the possibility that we get a mini blowoff here in precious metals before an intermediate term peak.

For a month which through the last dozen years hardly has been happy for Gold — and certainly century-to-date dreadful for the S&P 500 — let’s hear it here in this September of 2025 for All-Time Highs all ’round!  Whee-Heee!

This week, the Dow Jones made two new all-time highs (BEV Zeros) in its BEV chart below; on Thursday and Friday, its 60th and 61st since it entered scoring position (Red Rectangle below) in November 2023.

Well, the Federal Reserve cranked up the inflation machine this week, despite acknowledging inflation has moved up and remains elevated.

Gold’s massive breakout this month has left it pretty stretched technically.  Blasting back up into extreme-overbought territory multiplies gold’s odds for an imminent rebalancing selloff.  That would be very healthy for this mighty bull’s longevity, normalizing...

Here are today's videos and charts.

Yesterday’s session was just perfect. The initial reaction was in tune with what made sense given Fed’s rate cut, but it was soon overwhelmed by the buy-the-rumor-sell-the-fact type of reaction. The one that you knew was coming.

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee cut the target policy rate by 0.25 percent, bringing the target down to 4.25 percent. This cut is the first since the Fed implemented a cutting cycle last year that reduced the target rate from 5.5...
