Silver Market Morning: Sep-27-2016 -- Gold and silver still building strength!

September 27, 2016

For gold investors and macro-economic followers, the issues seem to be simpler. We have had for several years now a government that was gridlocked [emasculated?] as regards taking effective action. A Clinton Presidency would continue that [good for gold prices]. A Trump Presidency would remove that and give power to ‘government’ to act decisively once more. We see a large potential for globally divisive policies [good for gold prices too] under such a presidency.

Silver Market Morning: Sep-26-2016 -- Gold and silver building strength!

September 26, 2016

Since the last announcement from the Bank of Japan, where little was changed, Mr. Kuroda of the bank has spoken in such a way as to encourage a weaker Yen, saying he would venture further into negative interests rates should the need arise. It had little impact on the dollar: Yen exchange rate. In the E.U. Draghi is being more forthright and calling for governments to implement structural reforms to spur growth. We doubt member state governments are listening let alone planning to do anything,…

Market Report: Weak policies equal higher gold prices

September 23, 2016

Gold and silver had begun to rally ahead of the interest rate announcements, and following the Fed’s on Wednesday night, gold jumped 2%, and silver by 4%. Silver in particular has had a good week, with the dollar price rising from a low of $18.78 to a high yesterday (Thursday) of $20.07, up nearly 7%. This morning it had eased to $19.80 in early European trade. Gold rose from a Monday low of $1309.5 to a high of $1343.7 yesterday, a rise of 2.6%.

Silver Market Morning: Sep-23-2016 -- Gold and silver challenging overhead resistance!

September 23, 2016

Looking back over the week, we have seen overall U.S. demand for the shares of U.S. based gold ETFs strong and sales standing back waiting to see where gold prices will go from here. A critical question to ask is, “Have the major sellers exited the market?” If they have we could see decisive action from physical gold demand ahead.

Silver Price Forecast: Higher Silver Prices For Many Years To Come

September 22, 2016

The current season is ideal for silver and gold rallies, and this increases the likelihood that the above patterns will resolve soon. Furthermore, we are also in stock market crash season, which could be the greatest driver for the coming silver rally, since significant nominal peaks in the price of silver tend to come after significant nominal peaks in the Dow (I have written about this extensively).

Silver Market Morning: Sep-22-2016 -- Gold and silver jumping in dollars, not Euros, after the Fed!

September 22, 2016

We have a different take on the Fed’s announcement than the one that’s being reported inside the U.S. We see Janet Yellen and her team, although divided, paying great attention to the impact on the dollar, as we have said many times before. Most U.S. institutions look at the U.S. as being the driver of the rest of the world, leading the way forward. But the reality is that the U.S. is not an island, as shown by the dollar’s price in other currencies.

Silver Market Morning: Sep-21-2016 --Gold and silver waiting for the Fed!

September 21, 2016

There were substantial sales from the SPDR gold ETF yesterday, but Shanghai ignored it then London tried to pull prices back, to sit in the middle between New York and Shanghai. This is only the second time Shanghai has walked its own road very clearly. Before, exchange rate changes could have explained the moves, but not this time. If this pattern is continued pricing power will be shifting to China from New York.

Silver Market Morning: Sep-20-2016 -- Gold and silver waiting for two central banks!

September 20, 2016

Shanghai did walk its own road today sitting at $1,321 throughout the day, despite the lower gold price close in New York. London opened close to that level, but quickly slipped back to $1,315. We are now less than two weeks away from the adoption of the Yuan as one of the currencies that make up the SDR. The Yuan is being restrained at current levels, but we see it falling against the dollar for at least the rest of the year.

Silver Market Morning: Sep-19-2016 --Gold and silver consolidating!

September 19, 2016

With Shanghai back in business we see it registered the purchase into the SPDR gold ETF and took the price higher. On the surface it looked like Shanghai was walking its own road after the holidays, but with the SPDR having to find the gold in London today to supply the Friday’s buying we feel that Shanghai was fulfilling its role in the 24-hour global gold market.

Market Report: Consolidation enters tenth week

September 16, 2016

Traders have returned to their desks this month to find the economic and interest rate outlook is as uncertain as ever. After recent attempts to prepare the market for a September rise in the Fed Funds Rate, from various officials’ statements the Fed appears to have backed off, leaving open the possibility it will raise rates in December instead. We will know the outcome of the September meeting this coming week on 20-21 September, after which Ms Yellen will hold her quarterly news conference.
