Technical Scoop: Rising Inflation, Golden Haven, Oily Bottom

Excerpt from this week's: Technical Scoop: Rising Inflation, Golden Haven, Oily Bottom

Copper prices have broken out and are rising. This is a sign of inflationary pressures. Copper is also a leading indicator for gold. As noted, gold has already been making new all-time highs. As the chaos continues, we expect it to rise further. We continue to have targets up around $3,600 although expect resistance along the way. There continues to be signs that gold is being pulled out of the London markets and transferred to the U.S. to avoid tariffs down the road. The only bothering sign for gold, at least in the near term is what appears as an ascending wedge triangle. If correct it is short-term bearish and gold, if it were to break under $2,900, could in effect see a decline to $2,700. Gold stocks took it on the chin on Friday Feb 21, 2025 alongside the 700+ point drop for the DJI. Not a good sign. If we do get that break (a real possibility) the next move up for gold would take us to $3,000 and higher.
