Gold Editorials & Commentary

I’m making no bold predictions for 2025, since getting it right in these way-too-interesting times is like trying to guess when a ticking time bomb will explode. When it does, the shrapnel will pop an economic bubble so pumped with folly, greed and hubris that only...

Precious Metals remain in correction mode. We should be on the lookout for a low and potentially a significant low in January.

Losing track of the big picture and getting tunnel vision on the day-to-day action can and will cause traders to make really poor trading decisions, so I'm going to show you how this applies to Gold.

In his essay this week marking the 50th anniversary of the re-legalization of monetary gold in the United States in 1974 -- researcher and author Stuart Englert noted the opposition by Arthur Burns, then chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.

It has been a good year for precious metals but not a great one as the leveraged side has underperformed. Gold has gained 28% yet has outperformed Silver and the gold and silver stocks which are up less than 20% on the year. 

Gold just recorded its seventh down week in the last nine, price settling yesterday (Friday) at 2637 … and yet that is higher than Gold’s settle six weeks ago at 2567 on 15 November.

Gold and silver traded quietly and mostly sideways during this holiday-shortened week – with all markets lacking a clear direction heading into the end of the year.

Did you know gold is more plentiful than lead when you analyze the bulk composition of the earth? You're probably thinking, 'Wait a minute, I thought gold was rare!' Well, you're right! Confused?

Gold sector cycle is down. Trend is up for USD and down for gold & gold stocks. Waiting for a new set up to trade the short side.

Gold truly enjoyed a remarkable 2024, relentlessly powering higher to many new records.  Gold achieved a rare monster-status upleg, which proved extraordinarily-unusual.  Big gains stacked up despite extreme overboughtness, speculators’ exceedingly-overextended gold...

Here are today's videos and charts.

This 32-minute discussion between Grant Williams and me covers my 55-year professional journey from banking in Switzerland, building and running a major UK FTSE 100 company (DIXONS), and setting up a major business in wealth preservation based on physical gold.

In the current setup, it should be very easy for pretty much all traders to make 50 to 100% every year for the next 3 to four years easily, but I'm going to show you why almost nobody will be able to do it.

Why don’t I push for tax increases to address the massive budget deficits and the ever-growing national debt? The answer is simple – Uncle Sam doesn’t have a revenue problem. He has a spending problem.

So far, this week has been calm. However, as you read in my previous analysis, the turning points are near and we still have four more sessions before the end of the year. Bitcoin just failed to move above $100k again, and it is declining in the pre-market trading,...

Long-term Treasury yields are breaking out from a bull flag. With just a few days left in the month and in the year, the flag is postured to be broken to the upside. The Continuum stopped continuing in 2022 and is hinting to continue upward on that trend break.

Frank Capra’s 1946 film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” to be broadcast again Christmas Eve at 8 p.m. by NBC television, is loved most for its personal message of discovery at Christmas: that its hero’s life has been, unbeknownst to him, crucial to his family, friends,...

While 99% of the media keeps staring at official data by the Chinese central bank (PBoC)—misleadingly stating it added 5 tonnes of gold in November following a supposed six-month pause—the PBoC’s "unreported" purchases in London accounted for a stunning 60 tonnes in...

Some gold stock indices are showing some very bullish bases that could lead to huge breakouts in 2025. The ETF data reveals gold stocks to be extremely under-owned.

It’s Christmas Eve and while it’s been a spectacular year for supreme money gold, gold stock and silver bullion investors may feel a bit like the Grinch stole a piece of their Christmas.

The best performing precious metal for the week was platinum, up 0.15%. India’s trade deficit expanded to a record high in November, as the nation’s import bill ballooned, particularly due to a rise in gold shipments. The gap between exports and imports stood at $37...

Frank E. Holmes, CEO and Chief Investment Officer at U.S. Global Investors and Executive Chairman of Hive Blockchain Technologies, recently joined Mike Maharrey on the Money Metals podcast to discuss pressing economic trends, the Federal Reserve's actions, and how...

Gold imports into India surged to record levels in November as strong demand continued in the wake of government tax cuts. India ranks as the second-largest gold market in the world. 

The yield curve is quietly steepening again. If it continues and accelerates that would be very good for Gold as it likely indicates more rate cuts ahead and a recession.

In light of the recent market action, I wanted to post another update on the Gold cycles positioning - which are offering up a mixed picture, near-term.

Without digging into what effect Trump’s tariffs, tax cuts, vanquishing of cheap immigrant labor, etc. might have on the economy in 2025, let’s just take a quick overview of the latest economic data and commentary that came in this week that didn’t get covered in my...

Wednesday’s brutal response to a mildly hawkish Federal Reserve rate announcement triggered two opposite market signals. First, the sell-off told us that the great secular bull market that began in 2009 is over.

It’s the end of the year, and you know what that means. Like clockwork, Congress tries to push through a 1,500+ page spending bill with handouts and waste to “prevent a government shutdown.” The fact that this happens so frequently would seem to indicate a...

The correction in Gold & Silver intensified this week and especially in miners and juniors. However, the stocks are now very oversold on short-term metrics.

The gold price is finally recovering a bit today (silver is still flat on the day) following the selloff after the Fed's meeting on Wednesday.
