Silver Bulls Will Be Handsomely Rewarded / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: The_Gold_Report
Peter Krauth outlines the reasons he believes the price of silver will continue to rise. They say patience is a virtue.
Well, if anyone is virtuous these days, it has to be silver bulls.
They also say good things come to those who wait. I believe those good things will be coming…in spades.
Silver reached just shy of $50 back in April 2011. A decade later, we're still just barely above half that level.
But that's all about to change.
Since bottoming in March, gold has rocketed to a new all-time high near $2,070 in early August, up 40%.

Fed Will Not Hike Rates For Years. Gold Should Like It / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The latest FOMC statement and economic projections signal are that the interest rates will stay at zero until the end of 2023. This is excellent for gold.Yesterday, the Fed issued a statement regarding the FOMC meeting, which was held from September 15-16. The US central bank kept the interest rates and the conditions of its quantitative easing unchanged. The chart below shows the levels of effective federal funds rate and the Fed’s balance sheet.

Will Lagarde and Mnuchin Push Gold Higher? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The ECB held its monetary policy stance steady. Meanwhile, the U.S. fiscal deficit reached its all-time high. What does it all mean for the gold prices?On Thursday, the members of the Governing Council of the ECB met together to undertake monetary policy decisions. They decided to leave the interest rates and the conditions of the quantitative easing unchanged. This lack of action was widely expected, so attention shifted to the fresh economic projections and the Lagarde’s press conference. Importantly, the ECB lifted its growth forecast for 2020 from -8.7 to ‘just’ -8.0 percent. With inflation projections almost unchanged, the recent monetary policy statement sounded a little bit more hawkish than the previous one.

It’s Go Time for Gold Price! Next Stop $2,250 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Chris_Vermeulen
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS:
- Gold Pennant/Flag formation is now complete and setting up new momentum base near $1,925.
- Our Adaptive Fibonacci Models suggest support will prompt new Gold rally to $2,250.
- The rally in Gold will continue to extend higher over the next 4+ weeks.
- The US Dollar may move lower and/or the US stock market may break recent support to prompt this new rally in Gold.
If you are a follower of my research, then you know I follow gold and silver closely. I believe Gold has completed a Pennant/Flag formation and has completed the Pennant Apex. Further, a new momentum base has setup near $1,925~1,930, near the upper range of our Adaptive Fibonacci Price Modeling System’s support range. My team and I believe the current upside price move after the Pennant Apex may be the start of a momentum base rally targeting the $2,250 level or higher.

What Does this Valuable Gold Miners Indicator Say Now? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: P_Radomski_CFA
Some swear by price action, many others rely on indicators. There are actually many gold trading tips built around these techniques. Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index, is one of the rare ones that don't issue signals all that often. And it showed the highest possible overbought reading recently.
The excessive bullishness was present at the 2016 top as well and it didn’t cause the situation to be any less bearish in reality. All markets periodically get ahead of themselves regardless of how bullish the long-term outlook really is. Then, they correct. If the upswing was significant, the correction is also quite often significant.

Gold Price Reaches $2,000 Amid Dollar Depreciation / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
$2,000. Think about this number. Theoretically, it’s just a number, one of many. But… somehow we feel that jumping above this level was a big event in the gold market. After all, gold surpassed this psychologically important point for the first time in history, reaching record high, as the chart below shows.Read full article... Read full article...

GLD, IAU Big Gold ETF Buying MIA / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Zeal_LLC
The big gold-ETF buying that catapulted gold higher into early August has gone missing in action. That’s why gold stalled out since, drifting sideways flirting with a correction. To continue powering higher, gold needs these major stock-market-capital inflows via exchange-traded funds to resume. The near-term fortunes for the precious-metals complex are heavily dependent on how American traders position in gold ETFs.
For better or worse, exchange-traded funds are increasingly dominating gold’s price trends. Their relative importance has been mounting for years, and cannot be overstated. Major gold ETFs are becoming the global gold market. Despite lingering concerns about gold ETFs’ physical bullion holdings, speculators and investors keep flocking to them. They are the easiest way to get gold portfolio exposure, quick and cheap.
The World Gold Council’s latest quarterly fundamental data on global gold supply and demand yet again revealed gold ETFs’ dominance. The WGC’s Q2’20 Gold Demand Trends report showed global demand being gobbled up by gold ETFs like Pac-Man! Gold surged 12.9% in Q2, which enjoyed one of the most-bullish psychological backdrops ever. A worldwide pandemic raged, which had just spawned a stock panic.

Gold Price Gann Angle Update / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: readtheticker
Golds bullish trend has worked well in 2020, so what is next over the immediate 3 to 6 months? Will we continue to see a golden future.
The US dollar had been strong into COVID 19, since then the FED has printing a lot of money, and they are also considering YCC (Yield Curve Control), last seen during WW2. [Note YCC lasted 9 years over WW2. WOW, that is a lot of money printing.]
The FED is now forecast to over take competing central banks balance sheets in size, and the release valve will be a falling US dollar. Therefore we should continue to see the US dollar maintain is slow leak down over the next 3 to 6 month, say on the DXY 82 to 88.

The Silver Big Prize / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Hubert_Moolman
We have to keep our eyes on the bigger economic cycle. It helps in maintaining a proper perspective, and putting more emphasis on the bigger prize rather than the day to day movements.
The historical relationship between silver and the stock market provides great insight as to where we are currently in this cycle. Traditionally, the best part of silver rallies come after a significant Dow peak.
From previous work I have shared, it is clear that silver is still extremely cheap, and should be accumulated at these prices. The following comparison of silver and the Dow supports this, and gives us the proper perspective regarding the bigger economic cycle.

U.S. Shares Plunged. Is Gold Next? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The U.S. stock market plunged last week. Will gold follow suit?Last week, the U.S. stock market has seen strong selling activity. The S&P 500 Index has declined about 7 percent from its peak, while the Nasdaq Composite Index plunged more than 10 percent (entering a correction territory), below 11,000, as the chart below shows. It was the tech sector’s worst drop since the end of March, if not the quickest correction ever.

By: Darryl_R_Schoon

By: The_Gold_Report
Maurice Jackson of Proven and Probable talks with Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin Precious Metals Investments about macroeconomic policy and its effect on precious metals prices.
Maurice Jackson: Joining us for a conversation is Andy Schectman, the president of Miles Franklin Precious Metals Investments.
Let's begin today's discussion with gold, which has recently surpassed its all-time high since we last spoke, but this is no surprise. You forewarned us this would come to pass in our discussion back in December 2019, regarding the Bank of International Settlements and Basel III and its impact on gold. For those that missed that conversation, can you please shed some light on the importance of Basel III?

Gold / Silver Ratio: Slowly I Toined… / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Gary_Tanashian
Toined the macro, that is (in Moe’s Brooklyn accent). Step by step…
A rising Gold/Silver ratio preceded the March disaster, made an ill-fated bounce pattern in May-June and then got hammered by the 24/7 liquidity spigots opened up by a desperate Federal Reserve and Trump admin. They are desperate because the inflation MUST take hold in order to keep the system from unwinding to its fundamentals, which of course are nothing but robo-printed (funny) munny (political commentary withheld from this post, but insert what we all know here if you’d like…).
[edit] And while we’re at it, let’s insert here the republic for which it stands…

China Unloads Dollars as Gold Tests Support / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: MoneyMetals
Since posting new record highs in early August, the gold market has consolidated above $1,900/oz support.
A close below the $1,900 level would carry bearish implications for the near term.
Alternatively, a move back above $2,000/oz would likely be followed through to the upside with a rally to fresh highs. Silver, in turn, could be expected to run to new multi-year highs above $30/oz.

Gold & Silver Shine as Fed Targets Bondholders for Capital Losses / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: MoneyMetals
As the tech-heavy stock market indexes sold off on Thursday, many investors were forced to re-think their positions.
For the past few months, mega cap technology companies like Apple, Amazon, and Tesla have led the market higher. Yesterday they led the market lower.
Now the question is: Where can investors look for leadership going forward?

The law of long-term time preference and Gold ownership / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Michael_J_Kosares
“Those who plan, invest and execute long-term win,’ says long-time market analyst R.E. McMaster in A Layman’s Guide to Golden Guidelines for Wise Money Management. “Win-win decisions, looking to the long term with short-term work and sacrifice, are historically the tickets to success in all areas of life – short-term sacrifice for long-term benefits, deferred gratification rather than instant gratification. This is the difference between wealth and poverty, between class and trash. Those who make primarily fear-based, ego-based, selfish, win-lose, lose-lose, emotional and/or short-term decisions as their primary mode of operation in life nearly always end up miserable, often as losers in a comprehensive sense in life. Such people are walking tornadoes to be avoided.” [The Law of Long-Term Time Preference]
Successful investors have a philosophy, usually carefully cultivated, that they rely upon in their investment decisions no matter what happens in the markets in the short-run. Too, successful investors, as R.E. McMaster points out above, are rarely shaken by short-term events and, rarer still, guilty of short-term thinking. USAGOLD has always nurtured the belief that gold should not be purchased principally as a speculative investment, but more as an asset accumulated for long-term wealth preservation in the form of coins and bullion. That, in fact, is a viewpoint it shares with the bulk of its clientele. Thus, when we have a sell-off like what occurred this past month, experienced gold investors usually view such events as buying opportunities and part of a normal, healthy market process.

Gold Price Trend Forecast Analysis - Part1 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Hope you have all had good August holidays despite the fast materialising Covid-19 second peaks across the world with the United States leading the way by galloping ahead of the rest. Though much of Europe has also taken it's eye off the ball and is fast seeing it's 2nd peaks materialising with the UK managing to fair better largely due to intelligence of it's citizens rather than any actions from our inept government. Though it is still on a rising trend trajectory as new cases continue to climb with the opening of schools and universities set to feed the covid-19 monster going forward.
If the pandemic was not bad enough for August the UK has had atrocious weather to the extent where one wondered if it's better to lose the £1000 or so spent on bookings than to venture out in this miserable weather.

The Federal Reserve vs. Judy Shelton And Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Kelsey_Williams
Those in favor of Judy Shelton’s approval by Congress, pursuant to her nomination to the Federal Reserve Board Of Governors, should not be surprised by the torrent of criticism directed at her.
A letter published and signed by former Federal Reserve officials and staffers called on the Senate to reject her nomination, stating that “Ms. Shelton’s views are so extreme and ill-considered as to be an unnecessary distraction from the tasks at hand…”
Her “extreme” views were referred to in a general statement of condemnation:

Fed Dials Up Inflation Target…Own Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: The_Gold_Report
Peter Krauth discusses the Fed's inflation target and what that means for gold.
Make no mistake, higher gold prices are coming.
By pulling yet another arrow from its quiver, the Fed's just helped move us closer that target.
The Fed wants inflation, so it's going to get it. Problem is, we the people, will have to live with it.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell told us last week they will let inflation run higher than "normal" to make up for stubbornly "below average" inflation for some time.
