Precious metals experienced rebounds this week following October’s declines. They remain down since January, but the next few weeks could bring signs of a turnaround. Focusing on relative purchasing power and ratio trading are emphasized as the key to preserving long-term wealth rather than solely looking at dollar valuations. Let’s take a look at where […]

Gold and silver are heading into the midterms under pressure. This week on Golden Rule Radio, we discuss what could change after the election and how the conflict with Iran could affect prices.

Gold and silver took some volatile swings mid-week but finished off relatively flat. Palladium took the largest move in the metals markets, declining 2.5%. With rising interest rates in effect and higher bond yields, the dollar pushed up 0.8%. Gold meets resistance at $4,400, keeping it in a tight trading range, but with strong Chinese […]

It was FOMC day, and the Fed did something it hasn’t done in a while: it raised rates. With markets bracing for the widely expected quarter-point hike, precious metals sold off in a textbook “buy the rumor, sell the news” move, and the dollar index jumped back above 100. But beneath the red on the […]

Gold barely budged this week while the real story played out beneath the surface: copper punched to a fresh all-time high, platinum ripped more than 7%, oil pushed back over $100, and the U.S. dollar quietly logged its sixth down day out of the last eight. On paper it looks calm. Underneath, the plumbing is […]

Precious metals took a breather this week after a hot close to the summer, with gold slipping back under $4,400 and silver cooling into the mid-$60s. But August was a strong month across all four metals, gold is still positive on the year, and the smart money is quietly loading the boat.  Let’s take a […]

Markets remain relatively quiet following the volatility sparked by last week’s FED announcement. Gold added another $110 to trade just under $4,600 after blowing through resistance last week, while silver, platinum and palladium all pushed higher alongside it. Copper, meanwhile, printed a fresh all-time high — a signal the economy is running hot. We breakdown […]

Gold roared back this week, climbing 2.3% and jumping nearly $190 on our recording day alone after Treasury Secretary Bessent announced an expanded bond-buyback program. Platinum was the week’s standout with a 4.3% gain, while the U.S. dollar slid back under 99. As gold approaches the next major resistance level, continued pressure on bond yields, […]

Precious metals came alive this week, with gold, silver, platinum, and palladium all posting strong gains as the U.S. dollar slid back under 100. It was a very different week from the quiet, sideways action of recent months — a welcome surprise driven by a weakening dollar, accelerating gold buying out of the East, and […]

Metals took another quiet step lower this week as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium all drifted down together. But the bigger story was the Fed’s decision to hold rates steady into a market that’s starting to wobble under AI-driven stress in Asia.

Gold and silver strengthened this week as gold climbed 2.5% and silver with a solid 4.5% gain. Technicals point towards precious metals establishing a durable bottom as the 65-week moving average and potential double-bottom pattern.

Gold spent this week doing something it is not supposed to do. Bond yields spiked. The dollar climbed back over 101. Oil surged on renewed Iranian escalation. And gold finished the week higher anyway. Silver, meanwhile, went the other direction, pushing the gold–silver ratio back to 70:1. Let’s take a look at where prices stand […]

Metals bounced back this week after a brutal second quarter, with gold pushing back above the $4,000 mark and silver flirting with $60 again.

Gold and silver take another slide this week, with gold dropping below the $4,000 level and silver moving just below $60. This follows a strengthening in the U.S. dollar and a hawkish Federal Reserve outlook. But when you step back from the daily ticks, the picture looks far less alarming. This is a seasonal, momentum-driven […]
