The next technical target for gold is support in the 1500s per this Sept. 15th update [password protected]. Also note that the update included an extreme downside below 1300. While not overly likely (IMO), that would put a hard test on the bull market, which was...

In this article, I will briefly examine Gold’s technicals, fundamentals, and sentiment to hazard a guess at when and where the major turn will be. It is vital to consider all three tools to build a case.

Good news everyone! Two weeks to flatten the curve is back! Except this time it's the British yield curve, and it's the Bank of England that says it needs two weeks to flatten it! The FT reports: "Central bank to spend £5bn a day for 13 days over material risk to UK...

Financial stress indicators are flashing red as we head into October. Markets seem vulnerable to something breaking, perhaps in the credit markets. Gold could dip a little further, but the charts are lining up for a repeat of the 2018 bottom. 

To say that gold has been struggling this year is an understatement. As the chart below shows, the price of the yellow metal declined from above $2,000 to below $1,700 (as of September 20). That slide occurred during the highest inflation since the great stagflation...

The Fed’s second quantitative-tightening campaign already ramped up to full-speed in September, with dire market implications.  The unprecedented scale of QT2’s monetary destruction dwarfs QT1’s, which crushed stock markets.  With inflation raging out of control...

As the dark years are approaching, the world is now approaching survival mode. Admittedly, if you go to a high class restaurant in New York, London or Zurich,  there are no signs of misery but instead of incredible affluence.
