This silver-summer-seasonals methodology is the same as gold’s, showing how it has fared during gold’s modern bull-market years. With a far-smaller global market, silver is much-more volatile than gold. So its center-mass summer drift is wider, running +/-10% from May’s final close. That implies a summer range between $16.04 to $19.60 this year. But silver’s summer seasonals have proven weaker overall than gold’s.

With National debt now well passed $26T and total debt pushing $80T (public & private) and the massive monetary inflation (not consumer Price inflation) that has taken place over the 3-months, gold should be well past $2k/oz.

For a lack of a…
“We’re not even thinking about thinking about raising rates,” - Powell. This says it all as the chairman made it clear the Federal Reserve will provide the most conducive environment to drive precious metals higher. The Fed will continue its massive asset purchase program, instead of tapering it off. This is the perfect storm to drive precious metals higher and in turn related mining equities. However, this doesn't mean we won't see a more substantial pullback in the metals in the near-term.
