Gold Editorials & Commentary

For a long time, nearly four decades, growth has been getting progressively weaker during each recovery from recession. Of course, the U.S. is a major contributor to world trade and QE, but its trend of weaker growth is present in all major developed economies.

I forgot exactly where and when I read it, but I recall seeing that one of the things that the Fed looks at when considering the employment situation, is a rolling 12 month average of the number of jobs created or lost. This gives them more of a smoothed indicator...

The only thing that has experienced a worsening depreciation since the privately owned Federal Reserve unconstitutionally took over the Constitutionally mandated control of US money, willingly ceded by a vapidly inept Congress, has been common sense. There is none...

FXI, Gold, Silver, GDX, GDXJ & Junior Gold Stock analysis via videos.

We saw a pretty choppy and frustrating week overall for stocks and markets with only very select securities working while others didn’t work at all. We’ve had some great setups lately only to see most fail, while some have worked well, but overall, it’s been a tough...

Gold sector is on major sell signal. Cycle is down. Silver is on a long term sell signal and investors should be in cash or short. SLV is on a short term buy signal and traders can play for a bounce if risks are manageable.

My father, a WWII veteran, has been gone 20 years yet his words ring truer as years pass. He said, “I learned surviving the depression that government should stay out of people’s business and only do for the people what the people are unable to do for themselves!” I...

Ok that is not a picture of a gold bull market. It is anything but. But I will get to the bull market. Some analysts have in the past compared the current gold market decline (2011-2015) to the gold market decline of the 1970’s (1974-1976). So far, the current...

There is only one way to value gold, and that is to quantify the expansion of the fiat currency in which it is priced. That is the sole purpose of the Fiat Money Quantity (FMQ), which since I last wrote about it five months ago has increased by $375bn to $13.7...

By almost any measure, stocks are sharply overvalued. Warren Buffet’s favorite value metric for stocks is Total Market Cap of the market/ GDP. Today we find this metric showing stocks as sharply overpriced. As Doug Short recently noted, only the Tech Bubble is more...

Despite their recent underperformance, David H. Smith, Senior Analyst with The Morgan Report, remains bullish on precious metals, especially silver and palladium, as the "love trade" heats up and the global economy adds more debt to the system.

Currency depreciation, inflation fears and falling wages are weighing on average Russians and leading them to buy gold and silver bullion and some are making “unusually large purchases” of gold jewellery.

Yesterday’s strong rally, amounting to $26 from low to high, topped within a single tick of the 1208.60 target I’d provided. This validates the pattern itself (see inset), with the implication that any upthrust exceeding the high would be a good bet to reach 1238.90...

1- A deranged state of the mind usually occurring as a specific disorder (as schizophrenia). 2- Such unsoundness of mind or lack of understanding as prevents one from having the mental capacity required by law to enter into a particular relationship, status, or...

It is pretty much a given that we are living the end times of a three ring financial circus. If you doubt this, only a small amount of research on your part will confirm this. The odds in my opinion are quite high we will witness some sort of military...

Gold was essentially flat with a fall of just $2 or 0.0017% in dollar terms in the quarter. While gold was essentially flat in the quarter in dollar terms, it is important to note that gold was 11% and 5% higher in euro and sterling terms – building on the...

Markets fluctuate. Sectors cycle. Investors love and hate these facts, but we all know that if it were not so, it would be impossible to buy low and sell high. The problem, of course, is that no one can time the market consistently. That makes it hard to know when...

Back at the end of February of 2015, I provided you with a set up for the metals to decline strongly over a week or two period of time, to be followed by an upside reversal. I was looking for the markets to test or even break their 2014 lows, and then begin a rally...

Although gold has gone reliably opposite stocks lately, it is getting precious little lift so far Tuesday night despite the fact that index futures are under heavy selling. In any event, it’ll take another $5 of upside to trip a bull signal for the pattern shown....

The Financial Times warned today about the growing global ‘bond bubble’ and potential severe problems in the bond markets and ‘systemic risk’ which may come to a head in June if the Federal Reserve raises interest rates.

Since rallying from the $1142 area to about $1219, gold has retraced about half those gains. Bloomberg reports that investor short positions are now at the highest levels since 2006.

I can still remember being in elementary school and the alarm going off in the middle of class, it was time to practice "duck and cover." Another practice drill was when all six grades would march to the basement of the building and huddle in the boiler room, a...

It is an essential impossibility to solve problems created by excess debt and artificial liquidity with more of the same. That’s our credo here at Casey Research, and the reason why we believe the gold price will turn around and not only go higher, but much, much...

Overhead chart resistance centered between $1225-$1220 has proven to be a bride too far for the gold market. That region has now been confirmed with today’s plunge as a formidable barrier that gold bulls will have to overcome if there is ever going to be anything...

New Developments in Asia will have More Impact on Financial Markets than Garbage Rhetoric from the US Fed. The price of gold experienced its longest winning streak since 2012, last week as the price broke through the $1,200 level early Thursday and soared as high...

Earnings may very well have peaked. MarketWatch notes that adjusted profits (even after all of the accounting gimmicks), FELL last year. This is the first time this has happened since we entered the alleged “recovery.”

Deutsche Bank said that after seven consecutive days of gains in the gold market, it has become increasingly difficult to dismiss the rally as merely a function of the recent weakness in the U.S. dollar. Additionally, Saudi Arabia-led bombings in Yemen this week...

For many years, we have written about ‘peak gold’ and the ramifications of the underappreciated peak gold phenomenon for the gold market.

After last week’s air tragedy, maybe a poor thought process but please stay with me. Would you ever get on an airplane if there was no pilot? Would you be confident of reaching your destination safely? Of course not. Whether you know it or not, you are living in...

In this Weekend Report I would like to show you some charts for Natural gas, oil and the GDXJ. First thou lets take a quick look at the US dollar and the Euro which have started to consolidate their most recent near straight line moves. The monthly chart for the US...
