“Everyone knows they need a safe haven, but everyone also knows the traditional ones (government bonds) no longer offer that safe haven. That turns us to gold, the one asset that has a 3,000-year record of protecting purchasing power.” – Merryn Somerset Webb,...

The best performing precious metal for the week was palladium June 22 future, up 1.21% which surged on the first day of the Russian invasion. Gold moved to its highest since 2020 after Russian forces attacked targets across Ukraine, triggering the worst security...

First let’s recap where the HUI is now vs two years ago at the March 2020 crash low. In some respects a lot has happened and on the other hand not a lot has happened. A lot happened during that very strong impulse move out of the 2020 crash low as shown by all the...

The stock market has declined sharply between November and March in ten of the past fourteen years (71 percent of the years). This happened again from November 2021, into early 2022.

The world has changed significantly over, say, the past 4-5 decades. Many of the logical cause-effect relationships that one could rely on in the past to anticipate future trends and events no longer hold true as we have become accustomed they do.

Last week's action saw gold holding firm into early-week, with that action seeing the metal spiking all the way up to an Thursday overnight high of 1976.50 - coming on the heels of the Russia/Ukraine news. From there, however, a sharp decline was seen into the daily...

This week, the Dow Jones closed just a tad below where it closed last week / BEV -7.45% compared to BEV -7.39%.  However on Wednesday, it almost closed in double-digits; BEV -9.97%.  That, and all this (past) week looking at the pre-market trading, the Dow Jones was...

Recall prior to what now sadly is occurring, we were seeking (given Gold's "terrible technicals") a modest down run from January's closing Gold price of 1798 toward the 1754 area.

In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire digs deep into the current geopolitical escalation in Ukraine, thoroughly explaining the impact on the gold and silver market.

This week was arguably the most bizarre in all of my forty-five years covering capital markets and I do not write this lightly. It was so much so that I really do not know where to begin this week’s missive.

Gold sector is on long term SELL signal, but prices have found support at the 200ema. A new buy signal here will confirm a new up leg for the bull market.

Here are today's videos and charts.  The videos are viewable on mobile phones as well as computers.

The gold miners’ stocks have mostly been consolidating sideways over this past half-year.  They’ve been held down by periodic bouts of heavy gold-futures dumping on Fed-tightening fears.  But as those traders exhaust their selling firepower, gold stocks have formed...

As history shows, gold and silver rallies based on geopolitical tensions are often short-lived. Yesterday, a hint of a trend reversal appeared. Don’t stop reading this mining stock analysis until you get to the part about junior mining stocks’ analogy. Something...

As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, it is worth being better prepared for a possible crisis. Does that mean it pays to have some gold up your sleeve?

Craig Hemke joins us to discuss Russia, Ukraine, De-Dollarization and how this is all affecting Silver & Gold right now.

I discussed the potential for the invasion into Ukraine with a friend over the past few days and how this new war may change the global economy. We ended up discussing the Invasion of Kuwait that took place in August 1990. At that time, as soon as the Invasion of...

The war has begun: after a few weeks of tense situation, Russia has taken a radical step and started an invasion of Ukraine. How will this affect gold?

We all know that gold and its fellows have bottomed (minor or major)* vs. broad stock markets, and below is a daily chart pictorial view showing the impulsive bursts upward off the lows (relative to SPY) by gold, silver and the miners.

It’s a funny bull market, this gold thing. Unloved by the mainstream commentariat, who desperately cry “barbarous relic”, and by the bitcoin bettors, who call it an “ugly yellow rock”, its price is now with a hair’s width of the all-time high. $1,905, as this Report...

To the disappointment of gold bulls, the yellow metal’s upward trend will not last long. Fundamentals have already taken their toll on gold miners.

Mark Yaxley, from Strategic Wealth Preservation, joins us to discuss what is affecting the Gold & Silver markets right now. The latest news from Russia and Ukraine is yanking the price of Gold & Silver up and down on a daily basis. Also, which types of...

Years ago, when I predicted a “virus cycle carpet bombing” of America for 2019-2021, I warned that it could look like a “peanut play” compared to the 2021-2025 war cycle that would follow.

It may be quiet on the Western Front, but quite the opposite on the Eastern Front. Russia has accumulated well over 100,000 soldiers on the border with Ukraine and makes provocations practically every day, striving for war more and more clearly. Last week, shelling...

Gold will benefit as long as there are turbulences on the eastern European border. It may be a short-term growth period, but it certainly won't last forever.
