Will The Gold Price Shift As Two Great Titans Leave Us?
For much of November gold has been on a tear and this week investors have sent it way up, punching past $2000. Will these giddy heights of over $2,000 be how gold chooses to see out month-end? At the time of writing we cannot be sure. Yesterday prices did soften ever so slightly but the […]
Gold, a seasonal rally and the future of money
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our readers. For anyone celebrating we hope you have a wonderful day and we thank you for your support this past year. Big news this week – gold hit $2,030 in intra-day trading on Tue, it didn’t hang on but it did close the day with a hefty $20 gain […]
Gold Pops as Credit Crunch Looms
The double figure pop up in gold on Tuesday was more to do with weakening of the US dollar, than rampant gold demand itself. The significant drop in the fiat currency was largely thanks to the release of October’s CPI report. Echoing that of the previous month, the report showed weaker growth and lower than […]
Patrick Karim, Charts and Gold’s Next Breakout
I have heard it said that technical analysis is “Astrology for Men”, the inference being that it’s got about as much use as arguing something will happen to the markets because the stars say it will.

At the end of the conference attendees are asked to give their forecasts for the precious metals markets, for the next 12 months. […]
Gold Hits Two Week High As Uncertainty Grows
Overnight the gold price hit a two-week high. One of the ‘supports’ for the gold price was the release of FOMC minutes yesterday, something that once upon a time would have done a bit of a number on the price of gold. Instead, it barely blinked. The metal also finds itself well supported on account […]
Gold Down But Not Out
Gold and silver continue on their downward trajectory this week. The US Government Shutdown Deal and comments from FOMC members appear to have boosted bets that the Fed will make space for one more hike in 2023. Prior to the last-minute debt-ceiling deal (yawn) being struck at the weekend, markets had favoured a December hike, […]
