Gold Editorials & Commentary

Ladies and Gentlemen, the new President of the United States is… still unknown! The election results are not available, as some states are still counting the votes. The race is very balanced, with few states remaining too close to call. At the moment of writing this...

Few at the corner of Wall Street and Main would quarrel with the extraordinary steps the central bank and federal government have taken given the current circumstances. At the same time, any new rescue effort will pile trillions of debt on the trillions already...

Chris joins The Korelin Economics Report to discuss broad market trends to expect after the election is settled. We are already seeing money flow into markets broadly today as investors hope to have the election uncertainty behind them. We discuss several different...

In Monday’s analysis , I wrote that the market situation is likely to become more specific right before, during, and perhaps shortly after the U.S. presidential elections . And by “specific”, I mean that the markets could begin moving against their previous trends...

Regardless of the tumultuous year that we’ve had so far, Election Day remains the most significant event of the year and what every precious metal trader was waiting for. Given the election’s controversial nature, and all the other risks and uncertainties associated...

It appears that both gold and stock market investors believe the winner of the US election (held today) will be more money printing and debt. That’s almost certainly true, but what happens if the fed becomes less keen to continue its accommodation?

There's no shortage of prognostications or conjecture about the U.S. election. Of course, everyone has an opinion. Some like red, some like blue and some like neither. Last week's volatility in stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities is a clear signal that markets...

Want to hear something really scary? Inflation, the scourge of the modern economy, may be running much faster than we’re led to believe. I’ll use consumer spending on Halloween as an example of what I mean.

Few if any among us who have lived to maturity did not at some time have to make a choice that affected our lives by sending us down a path much different from the one implied by the other choice. Hopefully, by far the majority among us, can look back on the time...

The best performing precious metal for the week was spot gold, but still off 1.22 percent. UBS raised its price forecast for palladium to $2,500 an ounce by the end of December, up from $2,400 an ounce. Analysts at the bank say palladium imports from China have hit...

Governments cannot print endless amounts of money without repercussions or causing inflation. They got away with it during the 2008 crisis because the money stayed in the banks (for the most part). This time, the money is entering the system, and there is a lot more...

It’s evident that stocks have once again invalidated the breakout above their early-2020 high. They have also closed the week below the lowest weekly September close. Back in September, the S&P 500 index reversed on a weekly basis and rallied once again. This is...

So, today is the day! It's Election Day. For quite some time, national polls indicate that Biden has a significant advantage . He is also polling scarcely close ahead of Donald Trump in key battleground states, but, in some states, the lead has recently narrowed. So...

Chris Vermeulen of The Technical Traders joins International Stacker to share his latest short term technical analysis on the charts of silver, gold, and his perspective on the larger precious metals supercycle that will take Gold to $7200 and Silver $100+. While we...

Gold finished intermediate degree wave 5-up of Primary degree wave (1) up of Cycle degree wave III-up in August 2020. Wave fives are the most dramatic waves for precious metals and Mining stocks, and this final wave 5 rally formed a Parabolic rise. The problem for...

SPX is in a corrective pattern which should continue at least into mid-November. There is an outside possibility that it could drop as low as 3050 by then.

Last week's trading saw gold forming its high in Tuesday's session, here doing so with the tag of the 1913.80 figure. From there, a sharp decline was seen into later in the week, with the metal dropping all the way down to a Thursday low of 1859.20 - before bouncing...

The notion inherit of our prior two missives remains intact: that a Team Red election victory is "priced into the market". Rather were the tilt be to Team Blue, as we'd penned "...Gold would by now have soared and the stock market by now have been floored..." '...

Gold prices continue to correct from the new all-time high set on August 6, 2020. On that date, gold hit $2,074 per ounce – the highest cost to purchase one ounce of gold in the history of mankind. Since that point, gold has corrected some $226 or 10.9% to the...

Long-term – on major buy signal. Short-term – on mixed signals. Gold sector cycle is down. The multi month correction is at or near completion. $$$ We are holding long and short term positions. 

My research team and I have identified a series of Gaps and Gap Fills that may become very telling for the markets over the next 30 to 60+ days.  We have highlighted some Gaps in previous markets over the past 12+ months in some of our other research articles, but...

After a well-deserved correction of nearly 3 months the gold stock sector is still flashing positive signs beneath the surface, as the correction matures. The correction that began in August amid the ‘Buffett Buys a Gold Stock!‘ tout has now ground on for nearly 3...

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

Volatility is ramping up ahead of next Tuesday’s all-important election. Equity and precious metals markets got hit earlier this week on lockdown jitters. New virus restrictions in Europe and fears of a devastating second wave in the United States caused investors...

The gold miners’ stocks have mostly been correcting in recent months, after blasting higher with gold last summer. While this necessary and healthy selloff to rebalance sentiment likely isn’t over yet, this sector is entering its strongest seasonal rally of the year...

One of the primary concerns many gold and silver investors hold is whether the government will attempt to confiscate precious metals like back in 1933. Fortunately, silver expert Scott Craig of The Silver Independent joined me on the show to dig into this question,...

Gold and silver futures have been used for decades to control the price of gold and silver. In fact, declassified letters (which can be found in the GATA archive) that bounced between Henry Kissinger and his advisors in the early 1970’s discuss the need for a market...

Chris joins Jim Goddard on HoweStreet.com to talk about Gold, Silver, and the technology sector.  Precious metals are still technically in a short-term downtrend until the consolidation finishes, but they have great potential for the future. Natural gas is in a...

I previously wrote that practically nothing happened on the gold market , which is bearish since gold should be rallying or trading at higher levels, given the pre-election uncertainty. However, gold didn’t wait for the elections to begin with its decline – it...

Their citizens are voting with their feet and getting out of town. As a point of perspective, that amount of office space already vacant in SF is equal to nine of the tallest buildings in SF being completely empty:
