Gold Editorials & Commentary

“Inflation is too high,” admitted Lael Brainard during her nomination hearing in the Senate for the Vice Chair of the Fed. You don’t say, Governor Obvious! Indeed, the latest BLS report on inflation shows that consumer inflation rose 0.5% in December on a monthly...

If a nation of libertarians espousing gold as money can be viewed as the centre of the global politics spectrum, it’s painfully obvious that most of the world’s governments and political parties are far to the left of this mighty marker.

Over the past year, the Federal Reserve Note “dollar” has been losing value at an alarming pace as reflected by broad price level increases.

Those that read my analysis regularly know that I do not take general market fundamentals or news into account when I analyze the stock market. The main reason is that I view that which drives fundamentals as being the same as that which drives market price. However...

Being the first weekly missive of 2022, I want to touch upon an Email Alert I sent out to subscribers on New Year’s Day where I discussed the “First Five Days” segment of “The January Barometer”, an indicator developed by the late Yale Hirsch (with whom I had dinner...

China has cut their interest rate today. This was on expected lines. I do not see any significant impact on gold and silver and copper.

The intermediate top in the US Dollar looks to have been achieved. The US Dollar market is doing the opposite of what logic dictates. The problem is of course is that the Dollar has been pricing this in for several months.

According to many commentators on the markets, we stand at the cusp of a major change in US and global markets and therefore in the condition of the US and the global economies. A look at the longer term charts of some key US markets opens a window on the...

There seems to be an almost fanatical obsession with ‘fortune telling’ when it comes to the financial markets. Gold is no exception.

Last week's action saw gold forming its low in Monday's session, here doing so with the tag of the 1789.30 figure. From there, strength was seen into early-day Friday, with the metal pushing up to a peak of 1829.30 - before backing off the same into the daily/weekly...

Inflation is one of the best determinants of gold price movements, because investors buy precious metals (gold, silver, platinum and palladium) as an inflation hedge when the prices of goods and services are rising faster than interest rates.

The post 23-March-2020 flash crash advance continues.  During my Christmas vacation, the Dow Jones made three new BEV Zeros in the chart below, numbers #51, 52 & 53, with #53 on January 4th.  But before the Dow Jones did all that, it first deflated below its BEV...

Just in case you've forgotten (or weren't around yet), the mid-1970s were marred by stagflation, the cost of living in rampant rise whilst the economy suffered demise. Specific to the three-year run from 1973 (and its intolerable lines for gasoline) through 1975,...

Gold is lagging the raging inflation unleashed by the Fed’s epic money printing.  Despite leading inflation benchmarks skyrocketing to multi-decade highs, gold prices have barely budged.  Serious inflation initially fuels record-high stock markets, which stunt gold...

“We have totally screwed up inflation and now we are in deep trouble,” admitted Jerome Powell during his appearance before the Senate. OK, he didn’t formulate it exactly that way, but it was the message of his testimony. Powell admitted that the Fed wrongly expected...

Despite Wednesday's rather sensational inflation news, inflation isn't accelerating as much as it is breaking away from the camouflage that long has been thrown over it by the U.S. government and mainstream financial news organizations.

A portion of the commentary below is from the latest issue of the Mining Stock Journal. Recent trading action in gold, silver and the mining stocks lead me to believe that a major move in the precious metals sector may have started. You can learn more about my...

Looks like the manipulation in the Dollar is starting to break. I am not fond of mining stocks just yet, but I am watching the gold price to see if it can break past the manipulation here. First line in the sand is around $1,830-$1,835 with $1,880 and then $1,920...

It can’t happen here! How many times have I heard that one when I start to explain history to people?

When most people talk about inflation, they are usually referring to the higher prices they pay for goods and services. That is not inflation.

Overall, the December inflation numbers came in near expectations. Annually, consumer prices are up 7.0%, while energy is seeing the fastest rise with gasoline rising 49.6% in the past 12-months.

To understand the financial sea change occurring in this stage of the ongoing demise of the American fiat empire, after being knocked down repeatedly himself, George Foreman finally knocked out Ronnie Lyle, and announcer Howard Cosell uttered the immortal words: “...

On Thursday (January 6, 2022), I wrote that “the metal may find itself under hawk fire in the upcoming weeks”. Indeed, gold dropped sharply in the aftermath of the publication of the FOMC minutes. As the chart below shows, the hawkish Fed’s signal sent the price of...

The imminent interest rate hike by the Fed is almost certain. Are investors' concerns justified and will it mean trouble for the precious metals?

With the market breaking the support I noted last week, it has sent a warning shot across the bow of the bulls. But, before I discuss my market view, I want to first address something that you are all thinking: The Fed caused the decline this past week.

The best performing precious metal for the week was palladium, up 1.59%, perhaps on the threat of labor negotiations breaking down in South Africa. Gold stabilized largely by Friday after disappointing hiring figures came in at half of what was expected. However,...
