More Deflation Ahead: Silver, Gold And Their Mining Stocks A Must-Have

Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016 Jul 18, 2016 - 10:26 AM GMT

By: Hubert_Moolman

Commodities

Are you ready for the next leg of deflation? Where the real pain will be felt (mainly) because the collapse of commodities and oil, in particular, will be accompanied by the collapse of the US stock market.

Due to the size of the cycles involved, it is very difficult for most to comprehend the continued decline in the prices of commodities and oil, while silver and gold rockets higher.


In other words, since gold and silver have, for the most part, been moving in the same direction as commodities since about 1971 (and especially since 2001), most people think that this relationship will continue. However, it will not.

A major divergence has been in the works since about 2008/2009, and it is about to escalate. The change that this divergence has already brought about, is exactly what gold and silver miners needed to start performing well.

Here are a few charts to support the continued deflation:

Oil

Above, is a chart for oil (from tradingview.com) since 1992. The bull market for oil started in 1999, and has been supported by the trend line drawn from 1999. In 2015 there was a breakdown from that support,and prices have already retested the line (now a resistance line) twice.

This confirms the end of the oil bull market. Prices are likely to continue much lower from here. This is consistent with my previous (more longer-term) analysis, where I explain why oil could go lower than $10 per barrel.

Gold to Oil ratio

Below, is a long-term chart (from macrotrends.net) of the Gold/Oil ratio that supports the expected escalation of the divergence between gold and oil:

On the chart, I have drawn a resistance-type line that has been in place since the early 70s. In 2015 there was a strong breakout of this line. The ratio has gone a lot higher since the breakout, which is a good confirmation. The move higher has also broken the neck-line of the Head and Shoulders Bottoming pattern, and this indicates that the ratio is likely to go even higher, soon (especially given the recent retrace to the neck-line).

This is a big development. It shows that we are in a period of once in a life-time events (think monetary system collapse).

Commodities: CRB Index

Below, is a chart (from stockcharts.com) for the CRB index since about 1962:

The recent bull market for commodities started in 2001, from a support line that has been in place since the middle of the 70s. In 2015 there was a breakdown from that support,and prices have now retested the line. This is a major breakdown, and should not be taken lightly.

Although, price is slightly higher than the line, it still qualifies as a retest of the breakdown, and therefore, it is very likely that the decline will continue soon. Prices could go as low as the 100-level, at least.

Gold to CRB Ratio

Below, is a long-term chart for the Gold/CRB ratio (from stockcharts.com):

On the chart, it is clear that the ratio broke higher than its 1980 high, in 2008. Since then, it has been forming a extremely bullish looking Flag pattern. In 2015, it broke out of the Flag pattern, and after the retest of the breakout, it appears ready to continue much higher.

Conclusion

The above charts confirm that conditions for gold and silver stocks are looking really good, since lower oil and commodity prices will boost their profit margins. Furthermore, with general stocks (crash still coming), commodities and oil being in a bear market, there will not be much competition for investments into gold, silver and their related stocks, like there was during the first part of the precious metals’ bull market (2001 to 2011). This means that gold, silver and their mining stocks will perform much better than they did during the first part of the bull market.

The divergence that will occur between gold & silver as compared to general stocks and commodities (including oil) is a hallmark of debt-based monetary system collapse. I have written extensively about this, but in short, this is so, because the current monetary system, through its debt creation, boosts commodities and general stocks, while at the same time suppressing gold & silver.
