Silver Market Morning: Jan 5 2017 - Gold and Silver prices follow Shanghai higher!

January 05, 2017
By SilverSeek

Shanghai gold prices continue to rise slightly on a daily basis and both London and New York are moving higher, faster as they appear to be catching Shanghai up. This again confirms that demand in Shanghai is solid and solid enough to pull gold out of the developed world gold markets. The strength or weakness of the dollar is not affecting this as you can see in Yuan prices. These appear to be rising in a relatively stable pattern over the last month. It is the translation into dollar prices…

Silver Market Morning: Jan 4 2017 - Gold and Silver see a shift in sentiment!

January 04, 2017
By SilverSeek

With a weaker dollar today, gold has jumped in the dollar but even more so in the euro. But what is remarkable is that there was a huge sale of gold from the SPDR gold ETF, which did not move the gold price down. Instead the gold price rose and more so than appeared justified by the fall in the dollar. We can attribute this to the ongoing pull of Chinese prices and demand in Shanghai. The fact that gold prices went higher in London tells us that the gold sold from the SPDR gold ETF was not…

Silver Market Morning: Jan 3 2017 - Gold and Silver reflecting currency moves as 2017 starts!

January 03, 2017
By SilverSeek

On Friday the New York price closed at $1,151.70 on the last business day of last year, after Shanghai had closed at $1,187.35 a difference of $31.65 allowing for the difference in the gold being priced. This price also reflected a weaker dollar seen on Friday. This distorts the gold price we see today, so until the SGE publishes the gold price on the day it is set, we will need to adjust our perspective with hindsight.

Silver Prices and the Russian Connection

January 02, 2017
By SilverSeek

In accordance with the current blame-game promoted by the “fake news” diversions: We can blame Russia for HRC losing the election, releasing scandalous emails that the Democratic National Committee desperately wishes had remained private, the election of Trump, NSA spying on everyone, global terrorism, excess debt in the western world, the failure of hope and change, Federal Reserve monetary policy, unemployment, weak silver prices, strong stock markets, global bond market correction, the…

Another Interview With Silver Guru Ted Butler

December 31, 2016
By SilverSeek

I can’t imagine substitute silver sellers stepping forward to replace them except at very high prices. As it stands now, eight commercial traders, many of them banks, hold a net short position of 85,000 contracts or 425 million ounces. There’s nobody to take their place at these low prices. JPMorgan figured all this out long ago and that’s one of the reasons they bought so much physical silver. There was no other way for them to cover without sending silver into orbit. You’re truly looking at…

Market Report: 2016 Review

December 31, 2016
By SilverSeek

The reason this matters for gold, and to a lesser extent silver, is that hedge fund managers sell precious metal futures to go long of the dollar, and it is this which has driven gold and silver lower in the final quarter of 2016. Commentators in their expectations for the gold price are now uniformly bearish. These are essentially trend-chasers dressing up their negative sentiments into a fake analysis. There are some so-called specialists in cycle theory, talking gold down to under $900. But…

Market Report: Christmas quietude

December 23, 2016
By SilverSeek

Again, precious metals are reflecting a strong dollar, rather than anything fundamentally wrong with gold and silver. The last two months have seen a strong dollar revaluation upwards against all currencies. Gold fell $7 from last Friday’s close, to $1131 in early European trade this morning, and silver by 17 cents over the same time frame to $15.82.

Silver Market Morning: Dec 23 2016 - Gold and Silver consolidating higher ahead of the holidays

December 23, 2016
By SilverSeek

For the last few weeks, while the U.S. digested the election win by Trump, the euphoria has bubbled over. But as we all know, while Trump’s businesslike objectives may be encouraging, they are against the background of an economy that while moderately expansive but far from vigorous, as demand for durable goods fell 4.6% in November and jobless claims rose in the same month. So President Trump has to produce miracles to achieve what the Market euphoria expects of him. So a calming process in…

Silver Market Morning: Dec 21 2016 - Gold and Silver consolidating higher?

December 21, 2016
By SilverSeek

Today the dollar is pausing in its rise and gold too is consolidating with a slightly stronger bias right now. There were no sales from the gold ETFs yesterday, which has assisted the consolidation. If heavy ETF sales come in now the gold price will fall, if not we expect the gold price to continue rising.

Silver Market Morning: Dec 19 2016 - Gold and Silver Stabilizing?

December 19, 2016
By SilverSeek

We feel that the dollar has run too far, for too long on the back of hopes under the Trump administration. It is certainly against the interest of the U.S. to have a strong dollar at this point in the U.S. With the Yuan continuing to fall we may well see our forecast of 7.00 against the dollar reached by the end of this year. In 2017 we expect more falls in the Chinese currency. Let’s be clear on this, if the dollar continues to strengthen much more, the likelihood of import controls via…
