Silver’s Evolving Market: Bright Prospects and Lingering Challenges / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024

By: Submissions

Silver is stepping back into the spotlight, glinting with the promise of rising prices, surging demand, and shifting market dynamics. Building on insights from my previous article, “Silver Worth $150-$170? Facts to Make the Case for a Major Price Surge,” it’s clear the metal isn’t just playing second fiddle to gold, it’s tuning up for its own symphony.

Got Copper or Gold Miners? Watch Out / Commodities / Metals & Mining

By: P_Radomski_CFA

Copper, silver, and gold quite often move together, especially during the big moves.

Impending Massive Slide

And this is currently very helpful.

Given gold’s recent decline and a much bigger decline in silver and mining stocks, one might wonder whether miners’ and silver’s weakness are telling the truth about the precious metals market’s outlook, or if it’s gold that’s been holding up relatively well.

Gold Price Multiple Confirmations - Are You Ready? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024

By: P_Radomski_CFA

In my yesterday’s Gold Trading Alert, I wrote that we had some clues regarding the end of the corrective upswing.

Corrective Upswing Nearing Its End

We saw an invalidation in the GDXJ (of the tiny move to new short-term highs), and before that silver outperformed on a short-term basis, which was also a bearish indication. Today, we got some more.

Gold Price Monster Upleg Lives / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024

By: Zeal_LLC

Gold’s monster upleg remains alive and well, after weathering a sharp post-election selloff.  One had certainly been due, as gold had just surged to extremely-overbought levels.  The resulting pullback was big and fast, doing much essential rebalancing work.  Gold’s resilience defying some bearish headwinds is a bullish omen.  Despite its massive size, this monster upleg doesn’t look ready to give up its ghost yet.

I don’t use this “monster” term lightly, reserving it for gold uplegs exceeding 40% gains.  Over a long 12.9-month span from early October 2023 to late October 2024, gold rocketed a jaw-dropping 53.1% higher!  A year ago gold achieved its first nominal record close in fully 3.3 years.  Since then, a whopping 42 more have been written into the books!  Superlatives don’t overstate the magnitude of gold’s powerful bull run.

Gold After Trump Wins / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024

By: Zeal_LLC

Gold has sure had a wild ride in the several weeks since the US elections!  It first plunged then surged after Trump’s decisive victory, which surprised legions of traders.  Gold’s earlier big down days helped fuel fears another Trump administration is bearish for gold.  Its poor performance after Trump’s first win eight years ago buttresses that case.  But that’s probably not predictive in today’s wildly-different environment.

On Election Day 2024, gold closed at $2,743.  That was just 1.5% under its latest nominal record high achieved four trading days earlier.  But the next day when Trump’s big win was already apparent, gold plunged 3.0%.  That was its worst day by far since a 3.6% plummeting in early June on a huge US-jobs upside surprise, which in turn was gold’s biggest daily loss in 3.6 years.  Then more post-election selling came.

It’s simply normal for a market to correct after launching a rally as strong as what we saw in October and November.

Gold Stocks’ Winter Rally 2024 / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks 2024

By: Zeal_LLC

The gold miners’ stocks are heading into their winter rally, when strong seasonal tailwinds help boost their advances.  This is especially pronounced when gold stocks’ primary drivers of sentiment, technicals, and fundamentals are bullish, which is certainly true today.  This sector is nearing a psychological tipping point of surging popularity, making secular breakouts, and earning record profits fueled by these record gold prices.

Seasonality is the tendency for prices to exhibit recurring patterns at certain times during the calendar year.  While seasonality doesn’t drive price action, it quantifies annually-repeating behaviors driven by sentiment, technicals, and fundamentals.  We humans are creatures of habit and herd, which naturally colors our trading decisions.  The calendar year’s passage affects the timing and intensity of buying and selling.

At These Levels, Buying Silver Is Like Getting It At $5 In 2003 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024

By: Hubert_Moolman

The current setup on the silver chart is a lot like the start of the silver bull market of the early 2000s. In those days silver was under $5 and considered cheap.

The current bottoming pattern from around 2014 to now is very similar to the early 2000s bottoming pattern (see the chart below).

This Points To Significantly Higher Silver Prices / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024

By: Hubert_Moolman

Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, the Dow Jones has significantly outperformed silver.
It was only during brief periods before the 1919 and 1980 silver peaks that silver was able to outperform the Dow (see the Dow/Silver chart below).

Gold and Silver Shine as the Fed Cuts Rates: What’s Next? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024

By: Submissions

When the Federal Reserve decides to slash interest rates, it sets off a domino effect in the financial world, and precious metals like gold and silver are among the first to feel the impact. Yesterday, we saw a 0.50% cut, so it’s time to revisit how these metals have historically performed… and let’s just say, they’ve put on quite the show.

The Golden (and Silver) Truth About Fed Rate Cuts

Since 2000, gold and silver have shown a knack for appreciating when the Fed cuts rates by a full half percentage point. Here’s a look at how they’ve danced to the Fed’s tune:

Sentiment Speaks: Silver Is Set Up To Shine / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024

By: Avi_Gilburt

When I think about the metals market, I chuckle as it has obliterated just about every expectation many have had about what drives the market.

We have seen metals decline during a strong inflationary period in 2022, wherein most were expecting it to rally alongside inflation. We have seen metals rally alongside the US Dollar, when most were expecting it to move in the opposite direction to the dollar. And, we have seen rallies surprise many market participants due to a “lack of clear catalyst.”

Well, anyone that has followed my work through the years should not be surprised. I have attempted time and again to outline the many fallacies propagated throughout the metals market, while also outlining the most accurate manner in which you should track the metals. To this end, those that have followed along through the years recognize the accuracy of our work.

Precious Metals Shine in August: Gold and Silver Surge Ahead / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024

By: Submissions

As the summer winds down, investors are keeping a close eye on the precious metals market. August proved to be a stellar month for both gold and silver, with gold prices rising a solid 3.5% and silver not far behind at 3.2%.

But what does the future hold? Well, according to Bank of America, the outlook is positively golden. In a recent note to clients, the bank stated, “We believe gold can hit $3,000/oz over the next 12-18 months…”. That’s a nice 20% move up from here. If silver holds its 3x typical ratio, that’s $50 silver, which we wrote on two weeks back.

Speaking of Bank of America, strategists have a bold prediction for investors: commodities are the way to go for the rest of the 2020s. In a recent note, they argue that a “commodity bull is just starting” due to a structural rise in inflation. “Commodities are a better bet than bonds for the rest of the 2020s.”

Gold’s Demand Comeback / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024

By: Zeal_LLC

This gold bull’s latest upleg has proven mighty, surging to many new nominal record highs.  Amazingly gold’s massive gains have accrued despite no demand from one of its primary drivers.  That’s differential gold-ETF-share buying by American stock investors.  Enthralled by the AI stock bubble, those guys have been missing-in-action.  When they finally return, gold’s demand comeback will supercharge its gains.

The great majority of gold’s price trends have long been driven by speculators’ gold-futures trading and/or investors’ gold-ETF-share trading.  I’ve analyzed this extensively in recent decades, discussing the latest trends of both primary drivers in countless essays and subscription newsletters.  Understanding what both groups of gold-dominating traders are doing is essential for profitably gaming gold’s upleg-correction cycles.

Born in early October 2023, today’s gold upleg has blasted up 38.7% at best over 10.8 months now!  In early December, gold achieved its first nominal record close in 3.3 years.  Since then 28 more records have been written into the books, an incredible run by any standards!  Gold’s upleg is now on the verge of powering up 40%+ into monster status.  Remarkably this has happened with one hand tied behind its back.

Gold’s Quick Reversal and Copper’s Major Indications / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024

By: P_Radomski_CFA

Copper is definitely the most important industrial metal out there.

Freeport-McMoRan Reflects Market Trends

In the entire commodity sector, only crude oil is more widely used. And given the increasing importance of all-things-electronic, copper is unlikely to be forgotten anytime soon. This doesn’t mean that the only way in which its price can move is up (far from it), but it does indicate that this market is likely linked to multiple other markets – also to gold price.

GOLD WILL CONTINUE TO OUTPERFORM MINING SHARES / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks 2024

By: Kelsey_Williams

No amount of wishful thinking and baseless proclamations will change that. Owning gold stocks (miners) instead of the actual physical metal (in other words, processed and refined with appropriate hallmarks and in tradable form) is a losing bet. Investors should ignore the siren song of gold mining shares.

At their highs last week, gold stocks had increased eighty percent from their lows just two years ago. If you had bought then, and held through a thirty percent drop in 2023, you would be up about seventy percent at current prices.  That compares very favorably to gold which was up fifty-five percent over the same period. Congratulations if you benefited from that.
