Gold Editorials & Commentary

Thomas Thornton, founder of Hedge Fund Telemetry, joins us to talk about how many hedge funds are looking at the current market, including his take on silver, gold, Russia, Ukraine, the Fed, Inflation and many other topics.

Well, what a week for the gold market! The monetary metal gained $30 on Thursday to close at $1,900 for the first time since last spring, and silver battled back to $24 per ounce.

History shows that the Fed increasing Fed Funds rates has historically been good for Gold prices. We also discuss the Fed lies supporting the US dollar and US Treasury debts.

It is often said that a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. What is not said is what goes on before that first step; does one stand frozen until the decision to start walking is made? Of course not; one ambles around busy-busy, but essentially...

Last week's action saw gold forming its bottom in Tuesday's session, here doing so with the tag of the 1845.40 figure. From there, a strong push higher was seen into later in the week, with the metal running all the way up to a Friday peak of 1905.00 - before...

This was a big week in the market; lots of big events happening in the world with the potential to impact the markets.

Query: Were we not having the "on again off again" RUS/UKR skirmish -- (the StateSide President having just tactfully stated the invasion "will" occur) -- where would Gold be priced today? To be sure, it settled both yesterday as well as on Thursday at 1901. Prior...

When I was a young boy, every summer I used to save all of my money earned while caddying for rich lawyers and doctors about fifteen miles north of my home in Malton so that I could afford to blow all my savings on the absolute best day of the year – the Canadian...

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.

Driven by the need to decarbonize due to increasingly apparent climate change, governments around the world right now are choosing to de-invest from oil and gas, and instead are plowing funds into renewable energies even though they aren’t yet ready to take the...

In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire is joined by three experts in the LatAm precious metals space - Alejandro Kapetanakis, Carlos Alfredo Lao and Martín Aguilar - to contemplate spiraling inflation in the region. 

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

Gold-futures speculators’ most-feared hobgoblin is Fed-rate-hike cycles. These super-leveraged traders wielding outsized influence on gold prices flee in terror when rate hikes loom. The resulting heavy selling hammers gold sharply lower, damaging sentiment. But...

Gold and the USDX reacted vigorously to the worrisome news concerning Eastern Europe. However, only the latter can be calm about its medium-term future.

Critical warning signs from the credit and rates markets are being ignored by tough-talking experts while gold bides its time before it rises in a global financial crisis mathematically too sick to save.

Do you sometimes ask yourself when this will all end? I don’t mean the universe, nor our lives, nor even this year (c’mon, guys, it has just started!). I mean, of course, inflation. If only you weren’t in a coma last year, you would have probably noticed that prices...

There are many gold bugs out there who are salivating at the charts and calling for a massive run up in gold. Personally, I am expecting a major run up, but I am not placing my bets on the charts.

The Idaho State House today overwhelmingly approved a bill which enables the State Treasurer to protect state reserve funds from inflation and financial risk by holding physical gold and silver.

Behind the battle to convince everyone that price inflation is not a lasting problem is the necessity to keep interest rates and bond yields suppressed. In the past, the interest rate cycle was entirely due to the expansion and contraction of commercial bank credit...

After 18-months of consolidation, gold prices are on the cusp of a major upside breakout. Our technical work supports a slingshot move to the upside (like early 2016) that is likely to leave many investors behind.

Gold prices declined in 2021 and the prospects for 2022 are not impressive as well. However, the yellow metal’s strategic relevance remains high.

Egon von Greyerz joins us to discuss the latest trends in the markets and how he sees 2022 playing out. Markets will have to absorb higher rates, and there is too much debt. This is one of the best macro setups in history for Gold & Silver.

In our post on February 10, 2022 “The Bank of England: There’s Only One Solution!” we wrote about the Bank of England governor’s solution to inflation was for workers to exercise ‘wage restraint’ when negotiating higher wages.

It looks like our ending diagonal triangle formation ended a failure high at 4748.83, and wave V is now complete at the high. Our “Armageddon Support Line” has broken and the SP500 looks to be heading into a multi-year bear market. 

This is a day-trader's delight in this market. Gold above all its moving averages: Bullish. Upper Bollinger Band is $1,874.5 with support around $1,826.60.

This hasn't happened in about a year in a half, but gold has made (marginally) a higher-high. We have not yet seen follow-through, but this is typical. The second or third attempt is when we usually get a breakout.

Relentless rate hikes and QT mean that the destruction of the US stock, bond, and real estate markets is essentially assured.  Interestingly, the big question is not whether these markets will crash or not. 

Gold has been heading higher over increasing market volatility and worries in Ukraine. Futures must hold $1850 to support a bullish breakout to new highs.  

Alternate facts or reality have become part of our daily lives such that there is an indistinguishable blurring between the two worlds. In the fantasy world of the metaverse, people or their avatars are spending ever greater portions of their lives on online...

Analysts' 2022 forecasts for the gold market are not overwhelmingly enthusiastic – they see it flat. However, maybe the opposite should be expected.
