Silver Market Updates

Silver Market Morning: Aug-1-2016 -- Gold and silver prices returning to the upward trend?

August 01, 2016

Shanghai prices were slightly lower but London stayed in line with Shanghai’s close. Shanghai continues to remain in synch with both New York and London despite the fact it is a far, far bigger physical gold market than the two put together. The Chinese appear to be quite happy to let the two smaller markets make the gold and silver price. But for how long?

Market Report: PMs appear to be breaking out

July 29, 2016

Gold and silver drifted this week, continuing last Friday’s end-of-week profit-taking, until the FOMC announced on Wednesday afternoon EST that there was to be no change in the Fed Funds Rate. This was the signal for gold to gain some $20 and silver 75 cents. These moves represented an apparent break-out from the last month’s consolidation, and prices for both metals could now be on course to challenge the highs of early July.

Silver Market Morning: July-28-2016 -- Gold and silver prices reacting to Fed and B. of J!

July 28, 2016

The report from the Fed was positive on the U.S. economy but not so positive as to indicate September could see a rate hike. Why not? Most U.S. observers are riveted on the U.S. economy in isolation from the rest of the world. But that is myopic. The Fed has made it clear that the global economy does affect the U.S. economy. The dollar exchange rate does affect the U.S. economy and cannot be ignored or removed from the formula that defines when a rate hike will occur.

Still Waiting for a Precious Metals "Correction"? Get Off the Dime and Buy Some Silver Ones...

July 27, 2016

So where's the good news in all of this for you? First, physical metals have not risen nearly as much, proportionately, as have the underlying mining stocks. Indeed the miners are simply playing catch up, rising faster than gold and silver – as they should, because owning them comes with more risk. Second, the general public still has not placed precious metals on their "must have" list. Sure you hear radio advertisements to buy, but how many of your neighbors, friends, and family members hold…

Silver Is Insurance Against The Worst Part Of This Depression

July 27, 2016

The worst part of the world’s ongoing financial crisis is still on the way: A crisis that has its roots in the debt-based monetary system. The debt-based monetary system has facilitated the growth of debt, to levels that will inevitably bring total collapse.

Chris Martenson: Underpriced Silver Is the “Rip Van Winkle” Metal

July 25, 2016

Silver, primarily Mike I love it as the industrial metal, as something who's known ore grades are vanishing and deposits are depleting, and we know that it's being used increasingly for more and more industrial applications. Silver is my Rip Van Winkle metal. I love it. If somebody said, "I need to pick one of these two, 20 years I want to be happy when I wake up." Silver’s it. It's a volatile metal that goes up and down, I think it could have a run down if we hit a capital “R” recession or…

Silver Market Morning: July-25-2016 -- Gold and silver prices sitting on support!

July 25, 2016

Shanghai prices were lower than at New York’s close, while London tried to pull prices lower at the opening and thereafter. A strengthening dollar is at the heart of the weakness in gold and silver prices. We do not believe the dollar will get that much stronger and echo the opinion that the dollar is unlikely to rise higher than $1.07 against the euro. This helps to explain the limited Technical downside to gold prices.

Silver COT Stuns: What’s Going On Here?

July 24, 2016

The gigantic war continues unabated. Hedge funds keeping pile in on the long side while Commercials and Swap Dealers keep selling them all they want. The hedge fund net long is at a new all time high. The Swap Dealer net short is also at a new all time high. Commercial net shorts are fast approaching the all time high set back in October 2009.

Market Report: Technicians turning bearish

July 22, 2016

Predictably, technical analysts are now talking prices down, expecting gold to test the 55-day moving average currently at $1280, and possibly the 200-day MA, which is at $1195. Last night (Thursday) gold closed at $1333 and silver at $19.80.

Silver Market Morning: July-21-2016 -- Gold and silver prices still base building!

July 21, 2016

With today’s European Central Bank meeting likely to have an effect on exchange rates and the gold price the prospect of more easing becomes important. But as with the Bank of Japan’s failure to move of late [saying ‘helicopter money’ is off the table], so the E.C.B. finds itself in a position where it is extremely limited in what it can do now or in the future. Lending is timid, so stimuli are not bearing fruit!
