Gold Editorials & Commentary

In markets, easy phases, or easy periods, follow difficult periods, and difficult periods follow easy periods. If you are emotionally incapable of understanding and using this principle, it's going to be really difficult for you to make money, or ride trends when...

Today, we are joined by Florian Grummes, and he provides insights on the state of the market, the recent bank runs, the role of the Federal Reserve, and the future predictions for gold and silver.

With the recent action seen in the markets, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at both the Gold market - as well as U.S. stocks (as measured by the S&P 500) - with each of these markets nearing key junctures.

Firstly:  Gold is fundamentally fabulous given its ultimate valuation is a function of currency debasement.  Hardly is that news to our veteran readership, nor to anyone who fully comprehends The Gold Story.  So let’s just briefly break down the ultimate effect of...

Precious metals markets are trading quietly this week even as inflation data comes in hotter than expected.

The government's fiscal stimulus in 2023 has temporarily lifted the GDP growth rate. However, fiscal stimulus is not a reliable source of economic growth. It undermines productivity in the long term. It also creates problems such as higher taxes, higher interest...

Our proprietary cycle indicator is DOWN. Current data is unclear. Our ratio is on a buy signal. Trend is UP for USD. Trend is UP for gold stocks. Trend is DOWN for gold.

Gold has been vexed in recent months by the US dollar soaring again.  Its latest blast higher prematurely truncated a resurging gold upleg again, damaging sector psychology again.  Contrarian traders ought to be familiar with this script of Fed hawkishness goosing...

We see the potential for a strong breakout in gold in the coming weeks. The next time prices break above $2000 - they may never look back. Once gold clears $2100 it will be drawn to $3000 like a magnet.

While the crowd believed the Fed when it proclaimed inflation was contained, another mistake is unfolding as we speak. 

Here are today's videos and charts.

Inflation is back! Or so the commentariat would have you believe. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) grew 0.6 percent in August, significantly higher than the previous six monthly increases. Consumer prices have grown 3.7 percent over the last twelve months. If prices...

But before we begin, I want to take this opportunity to remind you that we have reviewed many larger banks in our public articles. But I must warn you: The substance of that analysis is not looking too good for the future of the larger banks in the United States,...

Ever since the the 30 year Treasury bond yield (one ‘top-down’ macro tool NFTRH uses to gauge the environment so that we may invest in, speculate upon or avoid certain situations, accordingly) broke its Continuum of pleasantly declining long-term Treasury bond...

On August 16, 2023, the Federal Reserve expressed concern about the pace of inflation, saying future rate hikes could be necessary if conditions do not change. Currently, the federal funds target rate is between 5.25 and 5.50 percent, the highest level in more than...

The Federal Reserve has officially reported a loss of $57 billion for the first six months of 2023. Quite a number! So the “Federal Reserve Banks Combined Quarterly Financial Report as of June 30, 2023” (CQFR)—a little-known document—is especially notable for its...

One of the primary advantages of holding physical gold and silver is that it allows you be outside of the banking system and free from counter-party risk. Almost entirely.

Wet paint eventually dries, and in the case of gold, the upcoming CPI report (tomorrow) and FOMC announcement (next Wednesday) could change the game… and light the gold price paint on fire.

2023 has been a year of hiatus (or pause) in the implementation of The Great Reset, at least from the standpoint of the masses who have been able (temporarily) to return to their usual pursuits such as going to sporting events, visiting bars and restaurants and...

The assault on individual rights is accelerating, and investors would be wise to think about the assets they hold in a world where the rule of law is failing.

Silver bulls have for decades made the argument that the white metal is underpriced relative to gold. Their enthusiasm is fueled by expectations for a return to the original fixed ratio of 16:1 in favor of gold.

The best performing precious metal for the week was gold, but still down 1.55%. Gold clocked a loss this week following two weeks of gains. The weakness was prompted by stronger economic data that drove the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields higher, with traders...

What a beautiful nothing! Nothing really happened on the markets on Friday, but due to the context of the previous days’ actions, it was profound. The thing is that it was a day when markets took a breather and verified their previous moves.

The question is ‘why?’. Why do Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve continue to tilt against the fading enemy known as inflation?

The summit of the so-called BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) has closed with an invitation to join the group extended to the Emirates, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, and Ethiopia.

Dave Collum, Professor of Chemistry at Cornell University, returns to the show, and we discuss the U.S. dollar, BRICS nations, and the future of the global economy. We dive into gold, silver, inflation, the potential economic crisis, and how modern technology might...

Jeff Deist and the Debased guests express their concerns and criticisms regarding the state of the economy under Bidenomics. Warning signs such as an inverted yield curve, declining investment, and excessive government spending are hidden underneath GDP growth and...

In this video I'm going to start off with some long-term charts.  This is a weekly chart and you can see price got stretched way too far above the  200 week moving average. We had a correction back down to it, but a stretch this extreme to the upside, it's going to...

Can the Wall Street Journal‘s headline writers save America’s juiced-up economy from going bust?  They are certainly trying. Check out their lede in Friday’s editions: The Fall in Home Prices May Already Be Over.

Quite the inauspicious start for Gold’s fresh parabolic Long trend as otherwise herein detailed a week ago.  Indeed then we were all megaphones and pom-poms about Gold now being en route to a new All-Time High … and we’re still in that camp even though the drive to...
