Gold and silver probed their November 2014 lows early last week and finished strong. From a chart standpoint, they both put in outside reversal weeks to the upside. I'd like to visit the current "setup" in gold and silver from several angles and then take a step...

Ireland’s leading economic think tank, the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) has issued its latest quarterly report in which it forecasts that the strong economic performance in Ireland is set to continue.

Once again we bring on a very popular guest, Mr. Bill Holter. Bill is very vocal on how corrupt governments and central banks are mismanaging (or outright destroying) the western economy, before our very eyes. Bill is also highly regarded for his investment...

For the last several weeks, I have provided you, and, sometimes even entertained you, with my perspective of a very evil pattern to play out in the metals. Such a pattern was supposed to test the 2014’s lows (and potentially even break them), and then rally to the...

Janet Yellen channels Billy Flynn (of old Razzle Dazzle fame)? Last week the Fed Chairwoman treated us to a master class of rhetorical misdirection which produced some memorable examples of doublespeak, including the soon to be classic "Just because we removed the...

On March 20, 2015, global gold price discovery changed. Transparency was introduced to the London gold market, as the new “LBMA Gold Price” was launched. In my professional opinion, the changes in London are ushering in an entire new era of gold price stability,...

Gold traded to a high of 1191.00 in today’s day session, which is above last Friday’s high. On the Intraday Chart the trading from Friday’s high of 1187.20 does not look impulsive which keeps all of our current options open.

From day to day and week to week, short-run fluctuations in the price of gold have, of late, been driven almost entirely by expectations of prospective Federal Reserve monetary policies, particularly with respect to short-term interest rates.

The Western powers are in serious trouble. The once great British Anglo-American Empire, the envy of the world, now resembles more of a phony Hollywood Set backed by a mountain of worthless derivatives and debt. The only thing holding up the Western Financial...

An incorrect rumor that HSBC is rapidly and quietly closing gold vaults where clients gold bullion was stored and gold in the GLD ETF is stored has been swirling around the internet.

Friday was a rare “quadruple witching” day – in which stock options, stock index options, stock index futures, and individual stock futures all expired simultaneously. Consequently, trading volumes were elevated – and as usual, market movements sharp.

Last week saw gold relieve some of its oversold conditions on a short term basis. Some participants interpreted the Fed’s continued dovishness whilst at the same time losing patience as a sign that gold should be bought. However, it was reasonable for gold to...

Greece’s place in the Eurozone is as precarious as ever as talks between Prime Minister Tsipras and European leaders in Brussels broke down – hours after reaching general agreement – and Greece warned Germany that it will be “impossible” for Greece to service debt...

Last week, I mentioned that several indexes were participating in the 3-week decline half-heartedly. We now know the reason why! On Friday, the rally which started at 2040 has filled a phase projection at 2113 and come to a resistance level which should turn it down...

Last week we looked at a chart showing new orders, inventories and personal consumption expenditures.

Gold had a constructive rally in the back half of the week after the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) highlighted the weak inflationary pressures facing the economy and lowered its projections for interest-rate increases. Despite the Federal Reserve removing the...

In an uptrend resistance becomes support. The precious metals are in a secular (15 to 20+ years) uptrend and they are currently pulling back to long-term support levels. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! For you people from Missouri, let me show you what I...

The immediate outlook for gold has improved dramatically following the dollar’s topping action of recent days after the Fed was rumbled, and the vast improvement in the COT structure of the past 2 weeks. While the negative outlook set out in the last update could...

As most of you know by now, I am bearish on gold from an intermediate term perspective on account of the fact that I do believe that the Fed is eventually going to have to raise rates and try to somehow normalize monetary policy/interest rates. Perhaps I am wrong...

Most market watchers are foolish. Yes, you heard me right. I was beside myself all week, as market participants and pundits blathered on and on about the word “patience.” Yes, the use of this single, eight letter word was supposed to determine the major direction...

The story in the markets since last year has been undoubtedly the crash of the oil price (-50% in six months) and the monstrous rally of the U.S. dollar (+25% in the same period of time). Putting the recent U.S. dollar uptrend in perspective provides some...

And, save for the Dollar, so did "Everything." To wit, at last Sunday's Investors Roundtable, a colleague of ours queried as to whether or not we're in the "Golden Age" of the stock market. The notion is that unsupportable earnings don't matter, as neither do...

When one looks at the daily or weekly NYSE or NASDAQ breadth statistics on the financial pages, publishers always list the number of 52-Week Highs and Lows made during the day or week, and it’s good data. Major indexes also make 52Wk Highs and Lows, but what do...

The first LBMA Gold Price benchmark price has come in at $1171.75, but the make-up of the price setting participants continues to raise questions. The new LBMA Gold Pricing benchmarking process came into effect today and the 10.30 am price set under the new system...

Since 2001 the gold price performance in all major currencies has left major stock markets virtually dead in the water. It is the inevitable triumph of real money over fiat paper currencies. The following charts clearly demonstrate gold’s fantastic price...

We have long held the view that the FED would not raise rates by any significant amount in 2015. Rather than exit our mining stock positions, we have accumulated on the dips with the belief that investors were overly-confident about the prospects of a major rate...

Platinum has been trending down quite strongly in recent times however I think that move is now done with a low at US$1086 and a bear market rally is already in its infancy. Let’s investigate using the daily and weekly charts.

A great week for markets and stocks, which broke out earlier in the week off lows and then continued nice action into Friday. I’m quite heavy into stocks now, mostly focused on the pharma and biotech sectors that I’ve been focused on for a long time now. We are not...

Speculation in gold has reached levels of previous bottoms typical of a bear market, should see a bounce in the near term.

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank [AIIB]. What is it? Yet another political disaster for the Obama administration as it leaves a wide swath of blunder after blunder in massively failed efforts to keep US allies from aligning with China’s newest anti-US,...
