Gold Editorials & Commentary

When caution is thrown to the wind, we begin to recognize that the market may be moving into a dangerous euphoric state from which a long-term bear market can begin. And, while it may be easier to bury your head in the sand, I strongly urge you to take to heart what...

In Part I of this unique two-part discussion, Matterhorn Asset Management founder, Egon von Greyerz, joins Ronni Stoeferle, author of the internationally acclaimed, In Gold We Trust Report, to exchange informal yet deeply insightful perspectives on the current and...

Even though the technicals have been predicting this for several months, people were still taken aback by gold’s fall — that’s why they are booing.

The Wall Street Bear is back! Or is he? Starting as far back as 2009, Wall Street has exhibited amazing resilience whenever it ran into headwinds of various kinds. 2009 was a big one; yet the rebound took off and did not falter, except for minor and brief...

For those global citizens born in the early 1950’s, it is no surprise that you all remember where you were when a number of significant events occurred in your lifetimes. For me, I have a number of traumatic events that shaped not only my thoughts about North...

In this video, I’m talking about Friday’s intraday reversal in gold price along with a likely reason that caused it (the initial reaction to the omicron variant of the Covid-19). The way gold price reacted tells us quite a lot about the outlook for the following...

Last week's action saw gold forming its high in Monday's session, here doing so with the tag of the 1853.00 figure. From there, a sharp decline was seen into Wednesday's session, with the metal dropping all the way down to a low of 1780.00 - before bouncing off the...

The stock market had its worst day of the 2021 year, on Black Friday, November 26th, in half-day trading. It was the high momentum decline we have been watching for as evidence that "the" top is in for the stock market. The Industrials fell 1,000 points intraday,...

Five key points right off the top: Indeed literally at the top: the above Gold Scoreboard displays valuation having crossed above the $4,000/oz. threshold; and yet you can own Gold for a fraction of that at $1,792/oz given yesterday's (Friday's) settle; "Got Gold...

US and Canadian stock markets fell sharply on Friday in reaction to a new coronavirus variant originating in South Africa.

Long term – on SELL signal. Short term – on sell signals. Gold sector cycle is up. We are invested for the current up cycle.

In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire explains the significance of gold rising alongside the US dollar and reveals the silver market footprints signalling a rally. 

Do governments hate gold? The answer: Yes — Governments hate gold because they cannot print it, and it is difficult for them to control.

More nakedly than is evidenced by other major central banks, the ECB through its system of satellite national central banks is now almost solely committed to financing national government debts and smothering over the consequences. The result is a commercial banking...

Over the past year, the price of gold has made repeated attempts to move higher. Looking at a one-year price history of GLD in the chart (source) below, there is  a series of progressively lower highs which seems to indicate staunch resistance to higher gold prices...

Precious metal plummeted on Monday after Biden reappointed Powell to the Fed. Prices are dropping into a cycle low and should find support in the coming days. Sentiment may finally be shifting in golds favor. I see the potential for a strong snapback rally heading...

As expected, after the applauded increase, gold fell. But will it manage to bounce off the bottom or rather slide lower? Today’s analysis is going to be all about gold, and for a good reason. Based on yesterday’s and Monday’s sessions, November is now a down month...

In another incident of deja vu, gold investors everywhere have seen their spirits crushed this week in the same old tired manner The Bullion Banks have employed for decades.

I’ve suggested that gold investors need to be prepared to watch gold dip below $1800 (and perhaps as low as $1566-$1450) before an enormous rally towards $3000 gets underway.

I tried to warn gold bugs that this was likely to happen, that the intermediate cycle was getting late. This last rally failed short of making a new higher-high. The rally did not do what it needed to do. Gold is not just ready yet to "go to the moon" despite what...

With Fed Chairman Jerome Powell officially reappointed for a second term and Fed Governor Lael Brainard promoted to Vice-Chair, the chess pieces are now in place atop the FOMC. However, with inflation surging and the Fed materially behind the curve, the central bank...

Will the American spending spree ever end? On Monday last week (November 15, 2021), President Biden signed a $1 trillion infrastructure package, and just a few days later, Biden’s social spending bill worth another $1.75 trillion passed the US House of...

Dan Oliver joins us to explain economic history: This is not a new scenario. Many societies have been down this path before. Looking at the examples of history will help you understand the coming events.

Why the gold price crashed yesterday: Re-nomination of current Federal Reserve chairman Powell for a second term implies policy continuity. Inability to trade over $1850. US dollar Index continues to rise. Crude oil trades with a softer bias. Inflation expectation...

Before you begin reading this article, I want to warn you that it is quite lengthy and also recaps some of our analysis over the past 20 months. So, if this will offend you or you don't want to hear that, feel free to stop reading right now.

The facts keep piling up, and recent BIS, Treasury and Fed reports confirm that all twisted paths lead to gold. In a recent article, I posed the rhetorical question of when will policy makers finally stop lying and allow honest facts and natural market forces to...

While the dollar is on a tear, precious metal stocks have gotten away with it lately. But how long will their resistance last? After the USD Index’s negative response to the ECB’s monetary policy meeting on Oct. 28, I warned on Oct. 29 that dollar bears were...

We have just entered those days of heady inflation that I have said will kill the stock market and bond funds. There is a tipping point at which inflation and the interest changes that respond to inflation matter, but it has never been a clearly defined point.

So far, at least, increasing inflation does not in the least seem to be of a ‘transitory’ nature. In fact, it could be speeding up. Also so far, there is no noticeable decrease in the printing of dollars. The number of Covid-19 cases is declining, even more so in...

In today’s video, I’m talking about the recent performance of gold stock prices (GDX ETF) - and I’m providing my forecast for the gold stock prices in the following weeks. And as I outlined last week – the outlook is bearish.
