Is Now The Right Time To Buy Gold Coins?
Towards the end of last month gold futures passed the giddy heights of $2,700. This move signalled a 42% rise in the price of gold since October 2022. And it wasn’t a gradual climb either in the 6 weeks or so before it had climbed from $2,400. Since then gold has experienced a small correction, […]
I Would Rather Hold Gold, Not A Gold Backed Currency!
Earlier today data on US benefit payments was released and whilst it was weaker than previously, gold did not appear to really respond. Gold appears to have settled itself into a new holding pattern at these elevated levels, so disinterested it appears to be in economic releases. However, we will see what happens tomorrow when Non-Farm Payrolls data […]
Gold And Silver Are Breaking Records
What a week. At the time of writing gold is around $2,670 having pulled back slightly better than expected US consumer data. This morning December gold futures hit $2,708.

Gold Hits Another Record High
It has felt like we have been talking about the Federal Reserve rate cut for months and months.

Does Gold Care About Payrolls Data?
At the time of writing gold is rallying to session highs, sitting above $2,520. This week is all about US employment data releases, and all the information and inference they bring. Tomorrow is the big one: Non-Farm Payrolls data. Non-Farm Payrolls data is always closely watched but there is a particular focus on this week’s […]
Top 5 Predictions, Will Gold Go Even Higher?
Nearly 30,000 of you have enjoyed our interview with David Hunter, recorded just last Thursday. His ‘conservative’ prediction that gold will reach $3,000 by the end of 2024 seems increasingly likely as the yellow metal continues to hold above $2,500. (If you missed it you can catch up here.) Last week’s speech by Federal Reserve […]
My $3,000 Gold Prediction Is Conservative!
We write to you as we approach the end of another record-breaking week. This was the week, of course, when gold proved its mettle and broke through the $2,500 ceiling. The ceiling is both technical and psychological. Why did the price push through $2,500? According to both the LBMA and the World Gold Council it is […]
How Much Gold Is Enough Gold?
It’s been a busy week of data releases, particularly from the US. July’s US inflation figures were highly anticipated; the data gave a boost to expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut rates in September.
