Silver Market Updates

Silver Market Morning: Sep-6-2016 -- Gold and silver rising through $1,330!

September 06, 2016

With New York closed we saw London do nothing and then follow Shanghai this morning. With London being the center of physical demand and supply one would have expected London to lead the way, but is followed both New York and Shanghai. But we do need to see strong moves to see clearly which market holds pricing power. At the moment it is New York and has been for a long time. Gold itself wanted to drift higher, which should set the tone for New York today.

Silver Market Morning: Sep-5-2016 -- Gold and silver recovering above $1,320!

September 05, 2016

While New York is on holiday the jump in gold prices seen last Friday persists. The disappointing jobs report shook markets on Friday seemingly postponing a rate increase until the end of the year. Meanwhile the dollar continues to weaken against the major currencies, with the exception of the Japanese Yen.

Silver update…Stay Sober

September 04, 2016

Time to revisit the “play toy of the funds”, aka, silver. On Thursday of this past week, silver managed to claw its way back above its downtrending 10 day moving average, a positive sign. However, ahead of an often unpredictable payrolls report, most traders are not going to get aggressive preferring instead to wait for the report and the reaction before committing precious capital.

Silver Market Morning: Sep-2-2016 -- Gold and silver consolidating above $1,300!

September 02, 2016

This week alone has seen attempts on COMEX to crush the gold price with High Frequency Trading dumping $1.5 billion worth of Futures contracts onto the market. The day before yesterday and yesterday saw over 17 tonnes of gold dropped into the physical market [which should feed through to London] and yet the gold price in the last day has bounced off $1,306.

Silver Market Morning: Aug-31-2016 -- Gold and silver slipping but sitting on strong support above $1,300!

August 31, 2016

Shanghai was stronger than New York yesterday, then London walked the middle road opening at $1,313. The dollar is again strong today, but the Yuan was slightly stronger still. We are aware of the care with which the People’s Bank of China is handling the exchange rate so as to not appear to be purposely devaluing against the dollar, with only a month to go before the Yuan is home and dry as part of the S.D.R.

Silver Market Morning: Aug-30-2016 -- Gold and silver sitting on strong support above $1,300!

August 30, 2016

The silver price is moving higher at $18.70 at London’s opening and is doing so while gold’s moves looked like they may continue to go down. Once again we are seeing greater vigor in the silver price on the upside just as it demonstrated vigor when falling down from over $20. The fundamentals of gold are weighed in favor of an upside move back to that level, so now we wait to see what New York will do with the silver price.

How GDP conceals inflation

August 26, 2016

GDP statistics only capture an incomplete snapshot of the economy at one moment in time. Since the economy is continually evolving, that snapshot is immediately out of date, and therefore unfit for the purpose of economic planning. Furthermore, being an incomplete picture of the total economy, GDP badly misleads policy-makers on the subject of price inflation.

Silver Market Morning: Aug-26-2016 -- Gold and silver trying to rise from very low levels!

August 26, 2016

The gold price, we feel is now forming an attractive short term pattern that should be positive for gold. The gold price fall was an ‘engineered fall’ that did not represent the physical state of the market. Here we are in the last week of August, ahead of the ‘gold season’. This is one of the last weeks when the gold ‘bears’ could do this. Before the fall the Technical picture moved to a point where a strong move was possible either way. This was, with hindsight an invitation to them to do…

Silver Market Morning: Aug-25-2016 -- Gold and silver prices fall to support!

August 25, 2016

Shanghai lifted prices slightly in both the morning and afternoon fixes. But they did allow the U.S. prices to guide them. While Shanghai can lead gold prices we feel that at least until October 1st they will take a low profile by remaining roughly in synch with western gold markets. Perhaps the fall in gold prices was a dealer-led pull back ahead of Janet Yellen’s Friday speech. This discounts an announcement that a rate hike will happen very soon. If she does not imply that, then we see the…

Silver Market Morning: Aug-24-2016 -- Gold and silver prices in a tight trading range!

August 24, 2016

Once again, overall, all global gold markets, together with global currencies seem to be moving sideways today with an emphasis on a slightly stronger dollar. But this strength is small. So we have gold prices in the dollar falling and those in the euro rising. Friday’s Jackson Hole comments by Mrs. Yellen of the Fed are the focal point of the week with markets finely measuring the emphasis she puts on her words, looking for the smallest sign of what the Fed is going to do and when.
