Gold Editorials & Commentary

Let’s start by defining hyperinflation…  “Hyperinflation is a term to describe rapid, excessive, and out-of-control general price increases in an economy. While inflation is a measure of the pace of rising prices for goods and services, hyperinflation is rapidly...

This week the market saw lots of excitement, like the Dow Jones seeing three new BEV Zeros from Wednesday to Friday.  These three new all-time highs pushed the Dow Jones up 903 points, or 2.67% above last week’s close.

First things first: we were a week premature in writing off Gold re-attaining 1800 "near-term". For some two months, we'd anticipated 1800 Gold: and we (finally) got it, price settling yesterday (Friday) at 1832.

Our proprietary cycle indicator is up. Gold sector remains on long-term BUY at the end of April. Gold has found major support, and next resistance is at 1950.

Apparently, CFTC acting commissioner Behnam has made additional comments about who’s involved in setting some of the futures market guidelines…and to find out who else is involved, please click to watch the video now!

Here are today's videos and charts. The videos are viewable on mobile phones as well as computers.

“Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door”, so sing Bob Dylan and Guns N’ Roses. Now, inflation is knocking on the golden door. According to the BLS, the U.S. CPI inflation rate recorded a monthly jump of 0.6% in March, while soaring 2.6% on an annual basis. And the...

The red-hot US stock markets continue to power inexorably higher, fueling extraordinary complacency and euphoria.  With stocks riding an extreme deluge of Fed money printing, selloffs are minor and far between.  But are these seemingly-perpetual gains to endless...

Is it a temporary blip… or the beginning of a long-term trend? That’s the key question facing consumers, investors, and retirees when it comes to inflation.

Before going into detail regarding my latest research and cycle phases, I want you to think of these cycle phases as Advancing and Declining cycle trends.  They act as a “build-up of trend”, then an “unwinding of trend”.  In each instance, trends can be either...

There’s no inflation … None at all. Only, completely by accident, lumber prices are skyrocketing. Gold is likely to remain silent, but it may catch up later.

There is a growing recognition in financial circles that price inflation will increase significantly in the near future, and official estimates that it will be a temporary phenomenon limited to an average of 2% are overly optimistic. There is, therefore, increasing...

If you think the things that Ben Bernanke and Jerome Powell say sound ridiculous, have you ever actually taken the time to watch Nixon’s “closing the gold window” speech again after all you’ve learned in recent years?

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sent markets into a tizzy on Tuesday when she said interest rates may have to rise to keep the economy from overheating with all the government stimulus. But later in the day, she walked those comments back, claiming inflation isn’t...

I have been writing professionally about the financial markets since 1995, and in all of that time I have almost never referenced valuation. It is not because valuation does not matter, but rather that valuation does not give any useful insights to solve my puzzles...

My 5,15 moving averages have converged into a “kiss”.  A crossover buy signal seems imminent, as does a gold price breakout over the $1800 round number resistance zone.

As we've been reporting for over a year, something radically snapped and changed at the COMEX in March of 2020. To that end, it's time for another update.

Gold bugs are closely watching what happens with Treasuries. Last year, the gold price hit a record high of $2,034/oz, largely due to the fact that investors were piling into bonds as a safe haven against pandemic-related uncertainty. A descending US dollar and...

Gold rallied visibly yesterday as the USD Index gave away some of its Friday’s gains, and this sparked questions about whether this is actually bullish for gold. And rightfully so, after all, if a given market reacts to what it shouldn’t react to, it often tells us...

By signing sound money legislation today, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson has officially ended sales taxation on gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion and coins– thereby setting an example for legislators in New Jersey, Maine, Ohio, and Tennessee, who are still...

Last week was full of big events. The FOMC released its newest statement on monetary policy meeting, while Powell held the press conference. On the same day, President Joe Biden made his first speech to Congress . Let’s take a look at his words.

In other words, how much is gold really worth? If we believe that gold is money, then we likely will have a different opinion or expectation than someone who sees gold as an investment; or someone else who deems gold to have no useful value.

The USD Index let out a roar heard across all markets. The king of the financial jungle arrived, along with the greenback’s largest single-day gain.

So the end of April came and is now gone and we have entered the merrie month of May, with good memories of what had happened at this time last year. The question whether the short squeeze of silver is coming in to play is still open, but there should be a few...

Last week's trading saw gold holding in consolidation mode for the greater-majority of the week, before forming both its high and low in Thursday's session. The high was made at the 1789.90 figure (June, 2021 contract), before dropping down to a bottom of 1754.60....

Let's admit it right off the top: Gold did not reach our anticipated near-term target of at least 1800. "Well the week's intra-day high of 1790 was pretty close, mmb..."

The Dow Jones lacked one important item last week; a little excitement.  In fact, that has been true for the past two weeks.  That’s how it goes sometimes.

There is some evidence that we are still in the bull market which started in 2009 and which could continue into the first half of 2021 before major cycles take over and it comes to an end

During the past week, we had to endure yet another Fed Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) meeting during which we were spoon fed ample dollops of hopium sprinkled with equal portions of hubris and deception. As the “prepared remarks” were being delivered in...

Gold sector remains on long-term BUY at the end of April. Gold has found major support, and next resistance is at 1950.
