Gold Editorials & Commentary

Gold is testing its 2011 high in Australian dollar (A$) terms. The A$-denominated gold price (gold/A$) made a correction low in April of 2013, spent about 18 months forming a base and then resumed its long-term bull market in late-2014. It will probably soon make a...

The best performing precious metal for the week was platinum, up 3.38 percent and marking eight straight trading days of gains. China has seen an 11 percent jump in auto sales through May, spurred by a tax cut on purchases.

Here we are at the halfway point of the year, less than two months away from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. As a group, commodities are the top performing asset class, beating domestic equities, the U.S. dollar and Treasuries.

Silver out performs gold as both rise with Treasury bonds, which are in turn rising with stocks, as Junk bonds hit new recovery highs while USD remains firm as inflation expectations are out of the picture. This is highly atypical, maybe even unprecedented.

I like to share my thoughts about the S&P500 index, the volatility index and what I believe will be the trigger/event, which sends stock markets around the world to new multi-year lows. While the charts shown here are very simple there is a lot of information...

The Fed was able to end its massive $3.7 trillion series of Quantitative Easing campaigns without the stock market and economy falling apart. The end of QE 3, in October of 2014, did cause temporary turmoil in the major averages; but all in all, it did not lead to a...

This was a shortened week, due to the American holiday of July 4 celebrating the start of the war that led to “Amexit”, 240 years ago. The prices of the metals were up last week, +$25 in gold and +$0.48 in silver. The gold to silver ratio dropped a fraction of a...

Last week, SPX traded within inches of its all-time high. After a much better than expected jobs report on Friday, bulls took control and drove the SPX up to 2131.71, only 3 points from the 5/15 high of 2134.72. Some profit-taking occurred in the last minutes, and...

The Brexit vote was a surprise. However, my alternative scenario for this unlikely event was a bull´s-eye. Gold immediatley spiked sharply higher and met some profit taking around $1,350. Now two weeks later it´s even higher and in a strong uptrend. Gold knows that...

Nothing is more shameless in a bedazzling sort of way than rich banksters standing on the public curb with their hands out. First, we had the admission this past week by a major French bank that Italian banks are so sick (and so too big to fail) they could cause...

I have not really addressed this issue in a direct fashion in the past, but I feel the need to bring this issue to light. The issue I have with most of the “analysis” I read or hear is that much of it is based upon supposition and inconsistencies. Personally, when...

In last week's missive, (Gold then at $1,345), we modestly raised our high target for this year to the vaunted level dubbed as "Base Camp 1377". Now with Gold having settled yesterday (Friday) at $1,367, what was Gold's high trade this past week, indeed for the year...

In US judicial court system for a criminal case, the juries are advised to examine the evidence of the case “beyond a reasonable doubt”. The market behavior is complex and there are often good arguments on both sides as to the direction of the crude oil ($WTIC)...

Gold sector is on a new major buy signal. Investors can cost average in at the next cycle bottom. Silver is on a long-term buy signal. Short-term is on buy signal. However, silver is vulnerable to a multi-week correction which is long overdue.

Jason Zweig, who a year ago called Gold a “pet rock” is doubling down. He reiterates his belief, albeit a misguided one that Gold is a pet rock and justifies it with the usual anti-gold bug propaganda. Unfortunately, Zweig along with many gold-bashers and ironically...

BREXIT opened a Pandora’s Box for the EU. Will the globalists shut it closed and then reseal it for generations to come? Something may be rotten in the state of Denmark, but the stench emitting from Brussels has been overpowering Europe. People in the Western...

This first chart for tonight is the GOLD:XAU ratio combo chart we’ve been following very closely. I just want to make it perfectly clear what this ratio chart is telling us. The ratio chart on top is telling us that gold is in a parabolic collapse vs the XAU after...

A cracker of a week to let our stock positions consolidate -- and now they have resumed their upwards trajectories. Precious metals are also doing very, very well along with miners. There really isn’t a lot to say with everything acting very orderly this past week...

Several important factors work in a powerful manner to debilitate, to distort, and to wreck the global financial and economic system. It is long past the point of effective remedy. After the Lehman kill event, every conceivable wrong move and policy was made and...

I wrote an article one year ago stating that ONE OUNCE OF GOLD WILL AGAIN BUY THE DOW. In that article I explored the possibility that gold could move up to an extreme as Jim Sinclair and gold bugs believe, of $36,000 or feasibly drop to $900 as Harry Dent believes...

The red-hot gold miners’ stocks have continued blasting higher this summer on heavy ETF buying by professional money managers. Funds’ ongoing big capital inflows into this market-leading sector have overcome its usual summer seasonal weakness. While gold stocks’...

For some years we have described Brussels as "Moscow on the Maastricht, without the privilege of state murder". Clearly, the above FT comment is not written by an impartial journalist, but by a polemicist for authoritarian government. Had the EU been based upon each...

The spike in the gold price during the holiday weekend triggered a record ONE-DAY surge in mainstream investor gold demand. Investors in the West watched over the fourth of July holiday weekend as the gold price continued higher on early morning trading on Monday...

The last year has been a scary time to be an investor. In 2015, the slowdown in China’s economy caused undue apprehension to investors and contributed to a nausea-inducing rollercoaster ride which began last July and has continued until now.

Over the last few months, I've read compelling arguments supporting lower oil prices. Many oil producers continue producing oil just to meet their debt obligations, no matter what the price. Saudi Arabia is losing its influence as a functioning cartel, and it's...

Against the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical and financial market uncertainty the Chinese central bank has continued to add to their gold holdings in an effort diversify the reserves further. As reported by Bloomberg, China, the world’s biggest producer and consumer...

Under certain circumstances, seemingly decent human beings are capable of horrific things. So it is with Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who parlayed his sound money bona fides into the top post at America’s private banking cartel and current issuer...

Two short months ago it was generally expected that US interest rates would rise for the balance of the year — a move made possible by steady economic growth and general global stability. Here’s a representative piece of reporting from early April:

GOLD BUYING amongst private investors in the developed West raced to the fastest pace in three years amid last month's Brexit referendum and financial shock.
