This gold bull’s latest upleg has proven mighty, surging to many new nominal record highs.  Amazingly gold’s massive gains have accrued despite no demand from one of its primary drivers.  That’s differential gold-ETF-share buying by American stock investors. ...

No amount of wishful thinking and baseless proclamations will change that. Owning gold stocks (miners) instead of the actual physical metal (in other words, processed and refined with appropriate hallmarks and in tradable form) is a losing bet. Investors should...

Here are today's videos and charts.

Is gold in the midst of a supercycle? A Wells Fargo analyst thinks so. Gold has had quite a bull run in 2024. The yellow metal is up over 21.6 percent this year, ranking among the best-performing assets. Along the way, it has hit new all-time highs more than 20...

As the West exploits the dollar-based global financial system to crack down on its perceived enemies, Russia is building its own workarounds... using physical gold and oil.

In a typical healthy market, the yield curve (typically the spread between the US 10-year Treasury note and the 3-month or the 2-year note) shows lower returns on short-term investments and higher yields on long-term investments. This makes sense, as investors earn...

As we approach this year's BRICS meeting next month in Kazan, while reports of a 40% gold-backed 'Unit' payment settlement currency continue to emerge, Russia has just announced that they are allocating $1.9 billion for gold and foreign currency purchases over the...

Today’s decline is significant not only because it confirms the post-U.S.-Labor-Day tendency in gold, but also because it’s another step toward creation of a bearish head-and-shoulders top formation.

According to Bidenomics, it’s new construction everywhere and robust consumers. Yet, today, as the tech sector in US stocks saw shares slammed down around 4%, NVIDIA, which so many stock promoters said could not see a collapse like the dot-com bust, fell almost 10%...

Gold continues to trend sideways against the 60/40 portfolio. But that could change over the months ahead.

On an annual basis, global silver supply generated by mines seems to have run into a ceiling of about 1 billion ounces. Supply has essentially flat-lined over the past several years.

According to some “experts,” there is an urgent need to remove cash from the economy. It is held that cash provides support to the “shadow economy” and permits tax evasion. Another justification for its removal is that, in times of economic shocks, which push the...

The gold price has dropped every September since 2017, with an average decline of 3.2% over the month. And September has also commonly been one of the worst months for stocks, with an average decline of 1.5% in the S&P over the past decade.

Gold’s record-setting rally above $2,500 an ounce looks to have further to run as the Federal Reserve prepares to chop rates, traditional drivers such as lower yields return, and Western investors pile back in.

A “commodity supercycle” is a period of consistent price increases lasting more than five years, and in some cases, decades. The Bank of Canada defines it as an “extended period during which commodity prices are well above or below their long-run trend.”

The miners are at multi-resistance and Gold, while trending higher has not ignited or accelerated yet. With Silver lagging Gold, the sector could correct.
