Silver Market Updates

The Great Silver Bubble

August 08, 2016

The price of gold was down about fifteen Federal Reserve Notes this week. The price of silver was down sixty-two copper-plated zinc pennies. Is the Federal Reserve Note a suitable instrument with which to measure gold? Can one really use debased pennies—which aren’t even made of the base metal copper any more—to measure the value of gold? We don’t know. We just work here. Quick, buy some silver, we hear it’s going to $100!

Market Report: Sterling reflates, Fed isolated

August 05, 2016

Currencies were being driven by yen strength/dollar weakness, benefiting gold in dollar terms. After a pause in gold’s upwards momentum on Wednesday, yesterday (Thursday) the Bank of England announced its quarter-point base rate cut, £70bn in extra quantitative easing, and assistance to the banks for lending amounting to a further £100bn. More on this below.

The Bank of England lowered interest rates by 0.25% and said it had scope to do more if needed, including taking the key rate close to zero, they also announced a plan to lend as much as £100 billion ($132 billion) to banks to ensure the measures reach the real economy.

Silver Market Morning: Aug-2-2016 -- Gold and silver prices looking positive!

August 02, 2016

We are seeing the Yuan strengthen against the U.S. dollar but staying in line with other currencies. The People’s Bank of China is not focused on the dollar but on the broad basket of currencies of its trading partners. The PB 0 C wants a stable to weakening Yuan and that despite what level the dollar will reach at some point this year.

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

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…
