Gold Price is Facing Trend Line Support / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
After breaking below the bullish trend line from 1214.17 to 1258.92 at 1270 on its 4-hour chart, XAUUSD started a bearish movement from the June 6 high of 1295.94, and the bearish movement extended to as low as 1241.25. Further decline is still possible after a minor consolidation and next target would be at around 1230.

Strength in Gold and Silver Mining Stocks and Its Implications / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
Yesterday’s session was not like the previous ones – in the previous days, the precious metals sector moved lower together and mining stocks were leading the way. Yesterday, gold and silver declined, but miners were barely affected. Does this strength indicate a likely turnaround?

7 Signs You Should Add Gold To Your Portfolio Now / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
Stephen McBride : Gold got crushed in the post-election rally, but a little over five months into 2017, the yellow metal is up 10.5%—making it one of the best-performing assets of the year so far.
While the outlook for the US economy is more positive than it was 12 months ago, if we zoom out for a moment, the big picture “ain’t so rosy.”
Gold has historically done well in times of uncertainty and panic… and with these seven worrisome signs, there could be plenty ahead.

Gold Will Start Heading Higher On “Dwindling” Supply / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
James Rickards via Daily Reckoning
Gold was down after the Fed’s hike, but I expect it to start heading higher again. Too many powerful forces are driving it behind the scenes. Dwindling physical supply is a major one.

Return of the Gold Bear? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
It was exactly one month ago we discussed our posture as a “bearish Gold bull.”
The gold mining sector hit a historic low nearly 18 months ago but this new cycle has struggled to gain traction as metals prices have stagnated while the stock market and the US Dollar have trended higher. Unfortunately recent technical and fundamental developments argue that precious metals could come under serious pressure in the weeks and months ahead.
First let me start with Gold’s fundamentals, which turned bearish a few months ago and could remain so through the fall. As we have argued, Gold is inversely correlated to real interest rates. Gold rises when real rates fall and Gold falls when real rates rise.

Reflation, Deflation and Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
One of the most important economic debate today is whether the economy will experience reflation or deflation (or low inflation) in the upcoming months. Has the recent reflation been only a temporary jump? Or has it marked the beginning of a new trend? Is the global economy accelerating or are we heading into the next recession? It goes without saying that it is a key investment issue because of the implications for different asset classes, including the precious metals. Let’s try to outline the macroeconomic outlook.

Gold Bullish on Fed Interest Rate Hike / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
Gold reversed sharply lower after the Fed’s latest rate hike this week, on heavy selling from speculators and investors alike. Bearish sentiment flared on traders’ long-held belief that higher rates spell trouble for zero-yielding gold. But market history reveals the opposite, that Fed rate hikes are actually bullish for gold. This week’s Fed-induced gold dump is likely to flag gold bottoming just before a major new rally erupts.
There’s nothing gold-futures speculators fear more than Fed rate hikes. Their rationale is simple and logical. Gold pays no interest or dividends, it’s a sterile asset with returns solely dependent on capital gains. So as interest rates rise and boost yields for bonds and stocks, gold struggles to compete. Thus gold investment demand wanes as yield differentials grow between it and major competing asset classes.

How Precious Metals Can Help Protect Your Wealth from Hackers / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
Could your wealth be hacked? It’s a threat most investors overlook. But they do so at their own peril.
If elections can be hacked, then so can bank and brokerage accounts, as well as any online platforms for digital currencies.
More than five months into Donald Trump’s presidency, the “Russia hacked the election” conspiracy theories still won’t go away. They’re expanding to also implicate Russian hackers for meddling in elections in France and elsewhere. The latest Russian hacking story centers on Qatar.

Gold-Silver Ratio: Debunking The Myth / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
A 16-to-1 gold to silver ratio has been the Holy Grail of some silver investors since the mid-sixties.
Unfortunately, fifty years later, it is a quest that continues unabated without success.
In fact, there is evidence that contradicts and widens the chasm that separates wishful thinking from reality.
In the Mint Act of 1792, the U.S. government arbitrarily chose a 16 to 1 ratio of gold prices to silver prices. The actual prices were set at $20.67 per ounce for gold; and $1.29 per ounce for silver.

DOLLAR has recently damaged GOLD and SILVER- viewed in MRI 3D charts / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
About 10 days ago MRI Trading Signals posted a FEATURED article on the bottom of our home page titled DOLLAR CROSSROAD? In it are 20 charts showing the potential impact a Dollar Index bottom would have on Gold and other exogenous markets.
This article is an update. So far this week, DX has traded inside last week’s narrow range. Once that changes Gold and Silver will react- perhaps dramatically. Tomorrow, June 14, the FOMC minutes are released.
The MRI 3D Report recommended last Wednesday evening to buy DXU17 @ 96.660 LMT with a 0.220 sized 96.440 STOP GTC. Friday showed to be a top (temporary?), so our updated 97.070 STOP GTC was elected Sunday and we’re flat thru the FOMC.

Mike Gleason: It is my privilege now to welcome in our good friend David Morgan of The Morgan Report. David, it's always a real pleasure to have you on with us and I'm especially excited to talk with you about some of the topics we've got on tap today. How are you?

We have a president here in the U.S. who the establishment hates and is hoping to oust if they get the chance. We have nation central banks printing new fiat currency at unprecedented levels all throughout the world.

Gold’s “Bearish Bulls” Addressed, Now What? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
An NFTRH subscriber named Joe, who is a former fund guy and current chart cranking, idea generating maniac (←said with admiration) came up with the term “bearish bulls” recently, by which he meant that a whole lot of people were looking down in the gold sector, especially heading into this week as the dreaded ‘GDXJ rebalance’ and then next week’s FOMC loomed.
On the former, some bounce opportunities were created in oversold companies involved in the rebalance (with bearish bulls’ short covering providing the accelerant) and on the latter, I very much expect the Fed to raise the Funds Rate next week; and so does the futures market. From CME Group…
