Gold Editorials & Commentary

Traders consult higher timeframes so as to get a big picture view that filters out some short-term noise. So, what story does the monthly gold chart tell?

The paradigm shift I spoke about last year is unfolding before our eyes. Precious metals are likely to emerge from the global COVID-19 crisis as the premier asset for investors.

Last week's trading saw both the high and the week registered in Monday's session, with the high coming in at the 1574.80 figure - before dropping sharply down to a intraday session low of 1450.10. From there, a basic sideways consolidation was seen for the balance...

I was finally able to spend some time today talking with precious metals dealer, Tom Cloud this morning.  Tom Cloud, like all precious metals dealers, has been busier this past week than in the last 30-40 years.  The response I’ve seen by many of these dealers, they...

Current market condition has wreaked havoc in all sectors, stocks, ETFs, currencies, and bonds. Gold sector was enjoying a nice uptrend since bottoming in 2016, and that too, was derailed, as liquidity became tight.

Doubting Thomases must surely realise by now that the central banks are in danger of losing control over financial market prices, not just for a short period of time, but more drastically than that. Besides a new round of quantitative easing announced last Sunday...
