Gold slides once again today, proving that yesterday’s $67 slide was not accidental. And it’s happening without a rally in the USD Index. So, yes, the price of the yellow metal can indeed move also down, not only up. And since the medium-term trend in junior mining...

Recently, with gold, silver, and gold stocks overbought by almost every technical measurement, almost every gold investor in the West knew there had to be a pause in the action. All that was needed was a catalyst.

Gold rose to trade near a record high, even as investors weighed a shift in messaging from Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell, who said the central bank will likely keep rates on hold for longer than originally planned.

Over the last few weeks, gold held its ground despite headwinds including a strong dollar and rising bond yields. Geopolitical tensions have supported safe-haven buying but it appears a new player is entering the market – hedge fund and other big money managers...

The long-term underperformance of gold stocks compared to gold itself is clear and indisputable. A matter of remaining contention is whether or not beleaguered investors in the not-so-shiny metal stocks will ever recover from more than twenty years of disappointing...

Two missives back we penned “Gold ‘Overbought’ is Great!” and so ’tis been.  These past couple of months have finally seen a long overdue repricing of Gold from some three years of being range-bound in the 1700-2000 zone to now up through our forecast high for this...

As the Chinese accumulate more and more gold, they’re dumping U.S. Treasuries. That raises an important question: who is going to keep funding the federal government’s borrowing spree?

Metals and miners are taking a breather after explosive gains. More upside is expected before the next cycle low, which is due in June. Last Friday’s price action was wild, with gold swinging $100 and silver $2.00 in a 4-hour window. As the bull market matures, I...

Who would have thought that those markets are connected? They are. All right, bitcoin is an alternative to fiat currencies, just like gold and silver are, but what about tech stocks? What could they have in common with the precious metals market?
