Within six weeks after the major breakout above $2100, gold has gone through $2300 and quickly moved over $2400, suggesting that $2500 is within sight. After soaring to nearly $2450 last Friday, Gold Futures made a strong $75 reversal but not a key reversal, as gold prices did not take out...

Since the last week of March, Gold Futures have risen over $250 to move above $2400 as I type this column while trading up 11 of the past 13 Comex sessions.

Junior Gold and Silver Stock Trains are Leaving the Station
April 5th, 2024
Despite a multi-month high in the U.S. dollar and rising Treasury yields, Gold Futures posted an all-time high at $2238 at the end of Q1. This significant event has shifted risk to the upside in the precious metals complex. Heading into the first week of Q2, the rising USDX has clearly lost its grip on the gold market as U.S. government debt continues to spiral higher, now adding $1 trillion more every...
Gold Rests as Silver and the Miners Begin Catching Up

After a sharp two week rise into blue-sky territory above $2200, which saw gold move up $150 during 8 consecutive positive trading sessions, short-term extreme overbought Gold Futures were due for a rest coming into a heavy U.S. data schedule this week.

Gold Remains Firm as A.I. and Bitcoin Euphoria Goes Parabolic
March 1st, 2024
I have received several emails recently inquiring about my thoughts on the recent move out of gold ETFs and into Bitcoin, which has increased since the beginning of 2024 along with rhetoric of Bitcoin replacing gold as a safe-haven. While it is true that investor capital has been flowing out of gold ETFs and into bitcoin, it is also true that all parabolic rises in anything eventually crash...
Gold Volatility Increases as Fed Pivot Remains on Hold
February 2nd, 2024
To begin what has been a volatile week in the marketplace, the tragic killing of three U.S. soldiers in Jordan over the weekend by an Iranian proxy group sparked a safe-haven rush into the U.S. dollar, T-bonds, and gold. The safe-haven metal rose above $2050 into the FOMC meeting conclusion on Wednesday, to close out January at $2067 per ounce despite recent hawkish Fed-speak...
Gold is Quietly Building a New Floor at $2000
January 12th, 2024
With Gold Futures heading towards a weekly close back above $2050 to end the Comex trading week, gold bulls have turned the more bearish momentum to start the year into a more bullish one instead.
