Silver Market Updates

Silver Market Morning: Aug-17-2016 -- Gold and silver prices steady in the euro weak in the dollar!

August 17, 2016

Again Shanghai was higher than New York’s closing but London decided to walk its own road at the opening, opening lower at $1,341. The reason London pulled gold prices down before the opening in London was the continuing ‘strength of the euro/weakness of the dollar, as you can see in the euro gold prices below.

Silver Market Morning: Aug-16-2016 -- Gold and silver prices trying to break higher on a weaker dollar!

August 16, 2016

Shanghai was higher than London’s opening and much higher than New York’s close. London opened at $1,350 whereas as you can see, the p.m. Fix in Shanghai was at nearly $1,354. Shanghai’s physical demand is greater than New York’s paper demand today. U.S. physical demand via the gold ETFs was absent yesterday.

Silver Market Morning: Aug-15-2016 -- Gold and silver prices still consolidating!

August 15, 2016

As the time approaches when the Yuan becomes one of the world’s ‘hard’ currencies it is meeting the definition of being widely traded in the global monetary system. Just to what extent remains to be publicized. Certain Capital Controls still persist but the silence on this ahead of the incorporation of the Yuan in the IMF’ Special Drawing Rights is deafening.

Silver Market Morning: Aug-12-2016 -- Gold and silver prices consolidating!

August 12, 2016

Shanghai took the gold price closing in New York higher more in line with the higher Shanghai price the day before. London then ignored Shanghai prices and opened at New York’s close. At the moment we are seeing a small battle between the developed world centers and Shanghai the physical market. This battle can be resolved provided the arbitrageurs in the market do their job. They can’t move gold but can adjust their positions with currency plays.

Market Report: Mirror reflection of the dollar

August 12, 2016

Last Friday (5 August) the US dollar jumped on better than expected payroll figures, and spent the first half of this week easing as the excitement wore off, before rallying again yesterday. Gold and silver reflected these moves in reverse, falling heavily last Friday, recovering two-thirds of the fall by Wednesday’s US opening, then falling back yesterday. Gold rose only $7 net from Monday’s opening of $1333 to $1340 by early this morning UK time (12 August) and silver by 40 cents from $19.60…

Smashed Silver Snaps Back into Ferocious Bull Market

August 10, 2016

A major breakout doesn’t necessarily portend any particular duration or price objective to follow. The silver market is notorious for producing price swings that befuddle forecasters. Nevertheless, the birth of a new cyclical bull market suggests the potential for a multi-year up move to come. Before it’s over, we are likely to see new all-time highs. The good news for those not yet invested in silver is that even after the impressive rally so far in 2016, prices remain relatively depressed…

This Suggests That Silver Will Soon Spike Significantly Higher

August 10, 2016

The silver price and the US Dollar/South African Rand exchange rate (USD/ZAR) have a very interesting relationship that goes back a long way. Basically, in the long run, the two move in opposite directions. When the USD/ZAR rate is moving up, then the silver price is moving down, and vice versa. Furthermore, when the USS/ZAR rate is making a top, then a bottom in silver is normally very close (before or after the USD/ZAR peak).

Silver Market Morning: Aug-10-2016 -- Gold and silver prices consolidating higher!

August 10, 2016

The jump of $15 from New York’s close was large. London came in at the open at $1,352, but there is always a reason when prices jump like this. Demand in Shanghai, the world’s largest gold market, clearly jumped. With 8.3 million individual gold investors and 10,000 institutional investors dealing on this market, supply must be tight in this physical market. We watch with interest to see if this demand feeds into London and New York.

Silver Market Morning: Aug-9-2016 -- Gold and silver prices consolidating!

August 09, 2016

Gold and silver held remarkably steady yesterday in the face of a large sale of gold from the SPDR gold ETF. The gold price continues to rest on support and with the gold season nearly on us the physical market, at least will see demand grow significantly. In the U.S. fears of a global slowdown [and low productivity] affecting the U.S. economy and the large number of potential banking and debt crises that are more than likely, the atmosphere for gold continues to be positive.

Silver Market Morning: Aug-8-2016 -- Gold and silver prices pull back to support!

August 08, 2016

The excellent Jobs report on Friday of a 255,000 increase, well above estimates, has put a rate hike back on the table, some say for September with others saying not until December. We agree with experts like Bill Gross who states that Janet Yellen is very aware of the global picture. After all the U.S. economy is doing well, but is integrated into the global economy to the extent that the global economy can drag the U.S. economy down.
