After a volatile year for the gold and silver prices in 2022, we're still left in the position where we're headed towards recession (and by some measures already in one now), which doesn't leave any easy answers for the central banks in 2023 and beyond.

The economist who predicted the financial crisis sees a “long and ugly” recession, including a sharp correction in the S&P 500, that could last all of 2023. “Even in a plain vanilla recession, the S&P 500 can fall by 30%,” says Nouriel Roubini, quoted by...

Gold’s rally was just stopped by the resistance provided by its previous high and its 60-week moving average. Will gold now reverse?

Below we track years of desperate yet deliberate central bank bubble creation (and can-kicking) to its ultimate end-game: titanic currency destruction.

Precious Metals traded up to the resistance levels we noted a week ago but reversed lower to start the week. Precious metals have rebounded with the broader market. There needs to be a transition in which they lead and perform in real terms. But I digress. 

The invalidations of breakouts and breakdowns are strong signals in the opposite direction, and we just saw them throughout the market – also in gold.

Here's the latest in our "Is Your Bank Safe?" series at SaferBankingResearch.com -- this one on Wells Fargo. Over the last few months, we have written several articles outlining our views of banks in general. We explained the relationship that you, as a depositor,...

Gold and silver have a history of being used as money for thousands of years. Yet we now live in a digital world where commerce is done globally, and through the internet, which raises the issue of how gold and silver could actually be used as money for payment in...

Jeffrey Tucker, a writer, publisher, and entrepreneur, joins us today to discuss if the US will see another recession in the near future. Furthermore, we talk about the recent financial crisis, the economy's current state, and the dollar's future.

The 2021-2025 war cycle is currently in a lull and oil is likely to determine what happens in 2023.  The daily oil price chart.  An aesthetic right shoulder is forming now, and the target is about $94.

Early on in the week, the US markets declined and the supposed reason for such decline was due to the Covid lockdowns and mass protests of such in China. Yet, the Chinese markets surged strongly at the same time. And, this had many people scratching their heads.

In the laboratory of history, great inflation followed by great disinflation opens the road to monetary regime change.

Physical gold and silver will never become worthless. This fact does not make for much of a marketing pitch. But given recent events, this is a much more important feature than it looks at first glance.

At the turn of the month is when the dollar index tends to reverse. Does it mean something opposite for the precious metals market?

The price of gold advanced after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled the pace of tightening would slow at the next meeting, writes Bloomberg, ahead of economic data that could bear on the central bank’s future rate hikes.

Last week's commentary went full contrarian with the seemingly nutty idea that 2023 could be a dull year for investors despite the looming possibility of a global economic collapse. Inflation, deep recession, war, disease and political unrest are just a few of the...

I don't think there's any question that metals have completed their eight year cycle low. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that are are missing this move and or they're still stuck in the mentality that was generated during this move down into the eight-year...

When on occasion Gold grabs the steering wheel as it did this past week, we're told to "Get in, fasten your belt, shut up and hang on!" Especially so when Gold has just filled up with premium. For there's nothing like +15 points of price premium "added" to Gold's...

The HUI rally has hit the logical resistance target where the 200 day moving average meets clear lateral resistance. It has done so in a not particularly overbought fashion due to the chop and grind it took to get here off the lows of the shaded bottoming pattern...

The US Federal Reserve continues to grapple with inflation, which at 7.7% (October CPI) is more than triple the Fed’s 2% target, without causing a recession by lifting interest rates too high.

The trend is your friend, and right now the trend for the Dow Jones is up from its bottom of September 30th. Finishing the week just a hair away from closing in scoring position --> somewhere above its BEV -5% line. Why “scoring position?”

Precious metals markets are rallying strongly this week on dovish signals from central bankers. Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell said in a statement that the Fed would "moderate" the pace of rate hikes. Investors interpreted that term as a sign that monetary...

Long term – on SELL signal. Short term – on buy signals. Gold sector cycle is up. COT data is supportive for overall higher prices.

The Powell speech and China re-opening rumors have markets ripping higher! Our SGS portfolio holdings are rising nicely.

Gold recently corrected a large part of its previous move, but later traded above an important resistance level. Will it be able to sustain this move?

With gold starting to run again, the mid-tier and junior gold miners’ stocks in their sector’s sweet spot for upside potential are increasingly surging.  Those mounting gains on accelerating upside momentum are attracting back traders.  How far these smaller gold...

With US and Global debt exploding prior to both assets and debt imploding, let us look at the disastrous consequences for the US and the world.

The gold market is very complicated, but I can offer you some tips on how to navigate through it. The fall is the season of dying. Thus, it’s probably the best time to give up certain activities, prepare for winter (it’s coming!) and later re-birth. Hence, this is...

I'm going to look at a few markets here and start with the dollar. I'm seeing a lot of people can't find any fundamental reason for why the dollar can go down but one could make the same argument with Bitcoin there was just no fundamental reason why the bubble in...
