• Three Truths about Stock Market Sell-Off Gold Investors Should Know

  February 8, 2018, 9:17 AM

  

  Until recently, the financial press was reporting confidence in the global economy in 2018. Participants at the World Economic Forum in Davos were full of optimism and they outdid each other in upgrading their forecasts. One week later, the global stock market plunged, making analysts stupefied. “As equities tumbled, gold should shine”, almost everyone thought. But that’s not what we saw. What really happened, then?

• Stocks Slip As Rebound Falters, More Volatility Ahead

  February 8, 2018, 7:20 AM

  

  S&P 500 index lost 0.5% on Wednesday, as it slightly extended its upward correction following recent move down. Stocks retraced their unprecedented month-long rally, as investors were selling stocks in panic. The index was losing almost 10% vs. its late January record high on Tuesday, just before bouncing off support level at 2,600. Is this sell-off the beginning of some new medium-term downtrend or just downward correction? It's hard to say, but this move down set the negative tone for weeks or months to come.

• Fresh New 2018 Lows in Silver and Mining Stocks

  February 5, 2018, 8:27 AM

  

  Silver was just breaking to new highs, gold stocks (HUI) were above the 205 level and gold was at levels not seen since August 2016. Gold and silver bulls were cheering. They are not cheering anymore. Even though the above was the case just several days ago, it was all invalidated, just like we expected it to be. Based on what happened on Friday, silver and mining stocks are at their new 2018 lows and their entire 2018 performance is a one huge bearish reversal. Where will precious metals in the following weeks?

• Friday's Sell-Off Sets The Tone For Weeks To Come

  February 5, 2018, 7:57 AM

  

  S&P 500 index lost 2.1% on Friday, following breakout below the short-term support level of 2,800. Investors reacted negatively to quarterly earnings, economic data releases. The broad stock market retraced more than 50% of its almost month-long January rally. Is this a new bear market? Certainly it is a relatively deep downward correction. The index is close to the important 61.8% retracement of the rally at 2,749.73. This may hold it for a while, as investors hunt for price bargains.

• Plunging Stocks to Push Gold Higher? Fat Chance!

  January 31, 2018, 8:59 AM

  

  The bearish case for gold continues as fresh new bearish confirmations have just emerged. You have already read about gold’s huge weekly volume, gold stocks’ underperformance and many other factors. Yesterday’s session provides us with even more bearish details. But, there’s one thing that looks promising for gold bulls – the possibility of a big and sharp decline in the stock market. Some expect money coming out of the stock market to flow into precious metals, thus pushing their prices higher. As much as we love gold (and silver even more) as a very long-term investment, in today’s analysis, we dismiss the above stock-based hope.

• THE Week. THE Record. THE Extreme Sign for Gold

  January 29, 2018, 8:45 AM

  

  To say that gold's weekly volume was big is like to say that snails are not the fastest animal. You can't say that it's a lie, but it doesn't really convey the entire truth, either. Gold's weekly volume was highest EVER. Yes, ever. There was not a single week - not ever during the 2011 top or when gold declined in 2008 - when gold moved on volume that was higher than what we saw last week. Is this significant? You bet!
