The USD Index declined yesterday, while the precious metals market moved higher, possibly due to the relatively “turbulent” pre-election debate in the U.S. But still, did anything actually change regarding the outlook?

The best performing precious metal for the week was gold, but still down 4.58 percent. Gold took a hit this week from a stronger dollar and investors bought the dip. The SPDR Gold Shares saw an inflow of more than 30 tons on Monday. Gold-backed ETFs had the biggest...

Important price action on the daily gold chart. The short-term gold chart. There’s a double bottom pattern in play, and it comes as the reaction reaches decent support.

Given that not all the information about the situation of the PM market in early to mid-April 2013 is readily available, it is not possible to explore the reason for the Niagara of all "waterfall” attacks at that time. Now, with the second largest of these attacks...

Uncertainty and cycle events will likely lead to continued Gold and Silver price appreciation until the cycle events end (likely in 2024 or 2025). The gold/silver ratio chart shows very clear levels of support and resistance. With the next targets $2,000-$2,250, $3,...

Gold had its worst week since March, falling some 4.6 percent from the previous Friday, as the U.S. dollar staged a rally against the euro. The price of bullion closed below $1,900 an ounce last Wednesday for the first time since July 23 and is now down about 10...

SPX has found a short-term low after completing an a-b-c pattern and has started a countertrend rally.  This is not yet an attempt at resuming the long-term uptrend, and a deeper correction is expected before this occurs.  But there has been enough of a base built...

Last week's trading saw gold forming its high in Monday's session, here doing so with the tag of the 1962.90 figure. From there, a sharp decline was seen into late-week, with the metal dropping all the way down to a Thursday low of 1851.00 - before bouncing slightly...

Gold and the Dow Jones have one thing in common; since their recent highs, the bears have yet to force them to correct by double digit percentages.  For gold, whose last BEV Zero was on August 6th ($2,061.44), two months have passed since its current correction...

In each of our prior five weekly missives we've pointed to 1830 as a key structural price foothold should Gold be so sold. And this past week under a heavy selling load, Gold reached to as low as 1851, a level not seen in better than two months when price was then...

Precious metals markets got clobbered early this week as gold and silver broke down from their high-level consolidations. Strength in the U.S. Dollar Index seemed to be the catalyst that got the selling going.  Once key technical levels got breached, the selling...

The gold miners’ stocks have just been hammered, plunging to new correction lows.  That shattered their indexes’ 50-day moving averages, pounding nails in the coffin of this sector’s recent high consolidation.  This necessary correction probably isn’t over yet.  It...

This article examines two inflationary experiences in the past in an attempt to predict the likely outcome of today’s monetary policies. The German hyperinflation of 1923 demonstrated that it took surprisingly little monetary inflation to collapse the purchasing...

The life cycles of Chairpersons of the Federal Reserve resemble royals. For a few years they are closely watched, every word is analyzed, and they are treated as royalty—because they control the flow of fiat currency units. But after they have implemented...

For the time being, things are not looking good, my bull friends. The bearish trend in the gold market continues. As the chart below shows, we saw a significant selloff on Monday with gold prices decreasing from above $1,950 to $1,909. To make matters worse, the...

While the COMEX digital metals remain in pullback and consolidation mode, the price action may seem eerily similar to some in the sector. Why? Because it IS similar...at least when compared to 2019.
