Beginning in early Spring, gold and silver faced two serious headwinds: Seasonality – that is, the annual decline in bullion demand from China and India once wedding season ends – and the internal structure of the futures markets, where the big players in gold had lined up in ways that historically point towards weak prices […]
If Bitcoin’s Rise Was Bad For Gold, Will Its Fall Be Good?
After an artificial pause in 2017, US government debt has resumed its inexorable climb… …the dollar has fallen by around 5%… … and inflation – even the massaged-beyond-recognition Consumer Price Index (CPI) – has shifted to a higher gear, driven by rising oil. All of which should be great for gold, right? Well, not so […]
When Will Gold’s “Summer Doldrums” End? History Says Pretty Soon
This has been a uniquely boring stretch for gold and silver – especially considering all the things going on in the world that ought to light a fire under precious metals. In just the past few weeks, the US started a global trade war, Italy elected a populist government, emerging markets descended into yet another […]
Kirkland Lake On Its Way To Becoming “The Premier Mining Company In The World”
Excerpted from Jay Tayor’s MiningStocks.com Kirkland Lake Gold is by far the best up-and coming gold miner I am aware of. And Novo Resources CEO Dr. Quinton Hennigh, who knows Kirkland’s Chairman Eric Sprott as well as anyone in the mining industry, told me Eric won’t be satisfied until he makes Kirkland the preeminent gold […]
The 1970s All Over Again? Part 1: The Middle East Explodes
For most Americans the geopolitical/financial crises of the 1970s happened so long ago that they’re about as relevant as the Revolutionary War or the Reformation. But for seasoned citizens who were around back then and paying attention, the similarities to today are becoming both eerie and scary. Consider: In the early 1970s the Middle East […]
Gold And Silver: Sell In May And Go Away? Not Exactly
It’s easy to dismiss seasonality in the price of a tradable asset. After all, if supply and demand fluctuate regularly you’d think the resulting arbitrage would attract enough traders to smooth out prices. But that’s apparently not the case with gold and silver. Here’s an analysis from Casey Research on the subject with a couple […]
Is This The Long-Awaited Silver Short Squeeze, The Beginning Of The Next Bull Market, Or Both? Or, Sigh, Neither?
Silver’s popping today. Which is what people following the futures market action have been expecting for several months now. Speculators – usually wrong at big turning points and almost always at least slightly net long silver – have suddenly gone net short. This is almost unprecedented, and implies that a short squeeze – in which […]
Jay Taylor: How Much Longer Can the American Empire Run on Fake Money?
Excerpted from Jay Taylor’s Gold & Energy Stocks Newsletter: Gold rocketed to nearly $1,365 on Wednesday in New York, which is well above the $1,350 that Michael Oliver suggests is when technical price watchers will finally start to head into the yellow metal and related investments like gold stocks. But alas the banking cartel had […]
Gold Tests Resistance – Again
Just when everyone was getting used to gold sitting around and doing nothing while tech stocks provided non-stop thrills and chills, the metal took off this morning on the “news” (read “Tweet”) that Trump is aiming some cruise missiles at Syria. Now the $1,360 resistance level that has been an absolute brick wall since 2014 […]
Silver Finally Starts To Catch Up With Gold
Something strange has been happening in precious metals lately. Gold has been doing a lot better than silver, even as the paper market internals have increasingly predicted the opposite. The result is a gold/silver ratio that’s near the top of its historic range: In the paper markets (where futures contracts are traded) the imbalance is […]
Silver Speculators Go Short – Which Is Extremely Bullish
Friday’s commitment of traders (COT) report for gold and silver offered more of the same. Which is to say the gold futures action was boring and the silver action was strange and exciting. Starting with gold, the large speculators – who, remember, tend to be wrong at big turning points – got a little less […]
A Glimpse Of Precious Metal Mining’s Future: Hecla Buys Klondex For 59% Premium
Big gold and silver miners have a problem: They’re evaporating. Each year they take more metal out of the ground than they discover, which brings them ever-closer to the end of the road. They know it and their shareholders know it, which means their stock prices tend to languish in the shadow of falling production […]
Gold: Another Month, Another Test Of Key Resistance – But This Time With A Difference
Gold spiked in January, and looked to be headed even higher. But there were some problems. First, futures speculators – as tracked by the Commitment of Traders (COT) report – had gone overwhelmingly long, and since they tend to be wrong at emotional extremes, this was a red flag. Second, gold was approaching the $1360 […]
Gold Jumps To Crucial Technical Level. Important Action Coming Up
After what seems like a decade in the shadow of tech stocks and cryptocurrencies, gold and silver are rocking again. Which of course leaves everyone wondering if this is the beginning of the long-awaited epic run, or just a head fake preceding yet another grinding, protracted, soul-sucking decline. The following chart has a couple of […]
Is This The Long-Awaited Gold Break-Out – Or Just Another Paper Market Head Fake?
That was fun. Since mid-December gold has behaved like a tech stock, jumping from $1,240/oz to $1,337 and carrying a long list of gold mining stocks along for the ride. Now everybody’s asking the same question: Is this finally the start of the long-overdue run at gold’s (and silver’s) 2011 record high, or just a […]
