Gold Editorials & Commentary

After the earlier upswing, the euro has headed south again. Will the bears be strong enough to break below the support this time? How could we play the unfolding move? Let’s take a look at the profitable opportunity we deem well worth jumping upon immediately.

The financial markets feel as if they are totally controlled. Zerohedge recently made an observation that pretty well sums up the situation, in the context of trade: The quickest way to settle the trade war is for stock markets to drop significantly. Much lower...

Markets were decisively in “risk-off” mode last week. Following weak manufacturing news last Thursday, the yield on the 10-year Treasury sunk to its lowest level since October 2017. The spread between the 10-year yield and three-month yield, in fact, inverted once...

We are happy to report that the new In Gold We Trust Report (2019) has been released today and the download link can be found at the end of this post. Ronnie Stoeferle and Mark Valek of Incrementum and numerous guest authors once again bring you what has become the...

More than 200 million people in 28 nations voted in the second-largest democratic elections in the world. What interesting information can we glean from their vote – which way the wind blows now? Crucially, how does it reflect on gold?

The fear trade for gold continues to gain fundamental strength.  The technical picture is also solid.  Gold is poised for significant upside action in the second half of this year. A large bull wedge is in play as institutional investors become more concerned about...

Last week, we wrote about the impossibility of China nuking the Treasury Bond market... Really, this is not about China but mostly about the nature of the dollar and the structure of the monetary system. We showed that there are a whole host of problems with the...

Gold prices may be in the process of reversing prior downtrends, as persistent trade war concerns have brought about a renewed safe-haven status for the precious metals complex.  This year, most financial news headlines have centered on the record highs which have...

DaBoyz showed a deft touch as the week drew to a close, guiding the broad averages to a respectable close even thought there were no buyers around. Stocks often soar ahead of summer holidays, but this Memorial Day weekend they seemed challenged merely to stay in...

The best performing metal this week was palladium, up 1.49 percent as UBS published a report outlining its positive view on the precious metal; hedge funds raised their net long position in the metal after touching an eight-week low. Gold traders and analysts were...

Gold only “really” rises “materially” when the “after tax” returns of both the bond and equity markets are, or are expected to be, less than inflation for a considerable time.  Such periods of “Negative Real Returns” (NRR) give rise to generational bull markets,...

I love reading about all the good news in the market. This past week, we saw U.S. jobless claims dip to 211,000, and they are now near half-century lows. We also saw U.S. consumer sentiment reach a 15-year high. So, what could go wrong?

In this report we will look at the state of the stock market and update the condition of a potential bottom in the gold space.

As the markets sold off on Thursday, gold, and silver were few of the only assets that remained in the green for the entire day.  Thus, the notion that the precious metals will crash with the markets continues to be proven wrong.  And what an ugly day it was as the...

There is a strong probability that the counter-trend rally which started at 2346 on 12/26/18 came to an end at 2954 on 5/01/19.  I say “probable” because the weekly indicators, which are the best gauge of intermediate market trends, have only given an initial,...

Gold in British pounds consolidates over £1,000 per ounce after reaching £1,015 per ounce due to political uncertainty and concerns of a Hard Brexit.

The Dow Jones closed the week -4.63% from its last all-time high of October 3rd.  Let’s round that down to -5%, which as seen in the table on the Dow Jones’ BEV chart is 1,342 points below last October’s high-water mark.  So, is Mr Bear about to whack Wall Street? ...

Per the above Scoreboard, Gold year-to-date clearly is tracking with the least degree of comparative alacrity to the prior three years, the price plot plodding along with a wee downside bias as if 'twere all quiet on the financial front.

The stock market has generated an official confirmed Hindenburg Omen stock market crash warning signal as of May 20th, 2019. While it only takes two observations for an official Hindenburg Omen, this one so far has five observations, the most recent coming on May...

…when the stock market’s decade-long bottom trend becomes its new top trend and then it can’t even make it back up to that line as a top trend. We’re sloughing away now, and it can be a long slide to the bottom or endless side-winding of big ups and downs that go...

We are just a few weeks from breaking the record. If the current US economic expansion lasts until July 2019, it will reach 121 months, becoming the longest ever. The extended duration of the prosperity begs the question of when the next downturn will occur. We...

First off, a wish to all readers for a happy Memorial Day weekend as we remember loved ones lost in battle and otherwise. Memorial is not a US thing, it’s an everybody thing. Today we take a look at various markets and assets using daily charts of the associated...

It is my privilege now to welcome in Gerald Celente, publisher of the renowned Trends Journal. Mr. Celente is perhaps the most well-known trends forecaster in the world and a regular guest on many financial programs, including right here on the Money Metals Podcast...

With great apology, I am late with this week's missive largely due to the arrival of boating season and the fierce need to secure a new vehicle, which should have taken (only) two days but didn't.

Here are today's videos and charts.

The FAANGs and a few other ‘lunatic’ stocks favored by institutional buyers have deservedly been getting thrashed, but it looks like the pain is unlikely to abate any time soon. My downside targets in two key stocks, GOOG and AMZN, are well below current levels,...

The mid-tier gold miners’ stocks in the sweet spot for price-appreciation potential have been struggling in recent months, grinding lower with gold.  Their strong early-year momentum has been sapped by recent stock-market euphoria.  But gold-mining stocks are more...

The Fed released the minutes from its last meeting. What are the Fed’s views on the economy, global risks and inflation? What do the learnings imply for the US monetary policy and in turn, the gold market?

Gold is a safe haven asset that market participants tend to flock to during periods of fear, uncertainty, and inflation. The yellow metal is both a commodity and a financial asset, making it unique. Along with its many industrial and ornamental uses, gold serves as...
