Gold and silver are being purchased in ever increasing amounts by both governments and individuals, despite all the rhetoric and blockades against transportation of the metals by individuals.

It is interesting to observe where gold deposits exist and where real production is occurring. ‘Unfriendly’ regions automatically chase development from their shores.
Gold Reserves 2022 and Production

It makes absolutely no sense to me that markets can hold up or increase in value as many market analysts predict, when governments which have the real numbers (not that you necessarily get them) are buying gold hand over fist while manufacturing collapses and earnings in real terms are diminishing.

The burning question is: Why did gold fall by approximately $100.00 and silver by $2.00 in a short period last week?
We will never know for sure, but here is some conjecture: 
  • FED signaled higher inflation.
  • FED showed the possibility of two more rate increases.
  • FED updated its Dot Plot Projections.The news triggered a rise in the value of the dollar.
  • The 10 year yield increased.
  • Stops at $1,900.00 were triggered creating more selling.
  • The market reacted to the one percent PCE inflation revision.
  • Large shorts in the market had to close their otherwise losing positions and had to push prices down by selling paper in order to cover their potential losses.
  • Silver follows gold or is it vice versa? Who knows any more?
Does the chart below look like normal market activity to you?
