Gold Editorials & Commentary

Last week's trading saw gold once again saw its high for the week made in early-week trading, here doing so with Monday's tag of the 1757.40 figure. From there, a sharp decline was seen into later in the week, here dropping all the way down to a Friday low of 1683....

The Dow Jones saw a little selling pressure this week; down on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but up on Monday and Friday. For the Dow Jones and most of the stock market (if not the NASDAQ Composite) I’d say this week was a net neutral.

The stock market has generated an official confirmed Hindenburg Omen stock market crash warning signal as of March 4th, 2021. It only takes two observations for an official Hindenburg Omen, and oftentimes we see more. This one so far has two observations, the most...

In September 2001, gold spiked to fresh highs after the 911 terrorist attack. Just a few months later, prices dropped back to pre-911 levels. What happened - why did gold drop when the world had changed forever? Good question. It did not make sense then, and the...

Folks, it seems that gold has formed an interim bottom, and a short-term corrective upswing is now likely, before the medium-term downtrend resumes. Any further declines from this point are not likely to be significant for the short-term. The same applies to silver...

Gold has suffered unrelenting selling in the last couple months, hammering it and its miners’ stocks much lower. Those outsized anomalous losses have left sentiment in tatters, with overpowering bearishness universal. Gold’s thrashing had nothing to do with...

Without a doubt, everyone is wondering (and should be): where is the bottom in gold and what’s going to happen to the yellow metal after it came close to touching $1700 last week?

Fed Chair Jerome Powell just spooked the markets by predicting that inflation will jump when the economy reopens – but don’t worry, it’s just temporary. Here’s the real-time CNBC account:

Monetarists have long held that there is a relationship between changes in the quantity of circulating currency and the general level of prices. It is not the only factor governing the relation, but it has been generally established to be true.

Gold remains in a bearish trend as economic confidence has improved, however, inflation can change all that around. The chart presenting gold prices in 2021 doesn’t look too encouraging. The yellow metal continued its bearish trend at the turn of February and March...

Well, right on cue, it looks like the endless creation of fake money by the Fed has now poisoned both the stock market and the bond market. The Dow was down 1,000 (3%) points in two days and the Nasdaq down 7% in two weeks.

People…relax. It's a correction. If you're a serious gold investor, then I sympathize. If you're freaking out, then this is not for you. If you're anxious, then you need to check your premises. After all, what's changed since gold reached a new all-time nominal high...

Can the precious metals move lower before a short-term correction, and after correcting, will they continue their medium-term downtrend? Gold & silver reversed yesterday (Mar. 2) and the GDX rallied after bottoming right in my previous target area, but it’s...

The price of gold early Friday morning this past week touched $1720. At that level it was down $350 per ounce from its high point of $2070 last August.

As I look back upon the week and month that ended February 2021, I am reminded that this is the anniversary of the week that I tweeted out: "I say we are less than two weeks (and maybe hours) from the arrival of a Bear Market in global stocks..." What followed was a...

As the Great Reset proceeds from globalist think tanks and technology billionaires to allied media elites, governments, schools, and Woke corporations, what will be “reset” next? Supporters of the World Economic Forum’s all-encompassing Great Reset agenda are eyeing...

At first glance, the March squeeze on silver has failed, or so we might be told in the knee-jerk reflex school of comment. The price of both gold and silver reached new recent lows right at noon on Friday, to leave many of the recently hopeful short term traders no...

surging over 31%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury touched 1.6% last Thursday, up from 0.9% just a couple of months ago. That's more than a two standard deviation move, suggesting the bond selloff may be overdone. Remember, bond yields rise as prices fall.

The Gold to Housing ratio is a quite useful measure for comparing the relative values of single family homes and gold, and it also has an interesting historical track record for identifying turning points in long-term gold price trends. After the pandemic-related...
