Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - Gold Deliveries For July Getting Hot In New York


And here I thought that July would be a quiet month for gold here in NY.

You can see from the delivery report below that the metal is moving, at least in the sense of changing hands in ownership, if not actually going anywhere in the physical sense.  And that assumes it is physical in the first place, and not some hypothecated illusion.

Gold is breaking out.  Silver gave us a thrill over the holiday weekend with a run to 21, but has since backed off, but held on to the 20 handle, by its fingernails.

The Non-Farm Payrolls for June will be out at the end of this week.  Along with a few other economic goodies that could open the door to further shenanigans.

The British pound dropped to a 30 year low against the dollar at 1.30.    Thoughts of a trip to London are crossing my mind on this, but air travel has become so tedious as compared to prior days that I hate to subject ourselves to it.  And the queen, while doing well, is still a bit on the fragile side, and requires more rest than usual.

Gold needs to hold prior resistance.  Let's see if it can do it.  Silver needs to break out.  And that looks promising.

Have a pleasant evening.













SP 500 and NDX Futures Daily Charts - Minor Swing


Stocks were in a bit of a slump today, understandable after the sharp run up in the post-Brexit surge of devil-may-care confidence by the ubermenschen.

So, all in all, just a minor swing, a brief setback in the technocracies plans to rule them all with the one ring of neoliberal economic nonsense.

Have a pleasant evening.

Target Prices of Gold from $5,000 to $12,000 per Ounce


If one compares the US monetary base per capita vs the price of gold in US dollars, we can see a historical relationship that diverges for long periods of time, but always seems to return to a closer relationship during periods of financial stress.

This is the case that some might make for gold with a price target of $5,000 per oz., which the potential to spike as high as $12,000.

Personally I hope we do not see financial stresses that drive the price of gold to that higher level.
