Are rate hikes the answer to the economic woes created by the same people we now expect to save us?
So we have a pause. Will this save us? The economy in my opinion has been deliberately imploded in order to make implementation of the CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) system easier. Yet inflation continues on its merry way, even though at a slower rate. Stagflation, which is awful to navigate, rears its ugly head.
Gold and Bitcoin
At present gold is outperforming Bitcoin, (first chart below). The second chart shows the effect of government action on the crypto market and Binance coin in particular.
Gold and Silver Stocks
In previous newsletters we have chatted about the incredible underperformance of the stocks relative to the base precious metals. This King World News chart by Graddhy explains the situation as it stands now. His expectation is that the silver stocks will bounce shortly and begin the catch up phase. My opinion is that this will be a reversion to the mean, if not an overshoot.
Gold and Silver
Dear manipulators of the gold and silver prices, I would like to thank you personally for giving us the opportunity to purchase real money at these amazing prices, using your depreciating fiat currency to do so.
From King World News: Central Banks bought 1,100 TONS of gold last year.
Do what they do, not what they say, seems to be the best recipe for the present. Why would they be dumping currency in favor of real money if they were not aware and fearful of their own currencies. If they are fearful, we should be terrified.
Below is a chart of ‘THE REAL NEWS’ that we have to search for. Why is this not on the front page of every financial newspaper? Continual accumulation of gold by countries fearful of or sanctioned from the dollar system.
Here’s a different way of looking at the gold price and its current value. What changes? The value of the currency or the value of gold? An ounce of gold was and still is an ounce of gold. How should we value the dollar in terms of gold?
Ounces of Gold bought for $ 1,000
| Investment | Year | Ounces | Gold Price | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ 1,000 | 1913 | 48 | $ 21 | -99% |
| $ 1,000 | 1971 | 28 | $ 35 | -98% |
| $ 1,000 | 1999 | 4 | $ 250 | -88% |
| $ 1,000 | 2002 | 3 | $ 300 | -73% |
| $ 1,000 | 2023 | 0.5 | $2,000 | – |
I cannot resist posting this chart below. Is it going to be $1750.00 or a break above $2000.00 and a run from there. After three failed attempts at breaking $2000.00 and holding above it, there is an excellent probability of a sustained break over $2000.00 in the relatively near future.
Look at the Gold and Silver charts
| Today | Last Week | |
| Gold Price | $1,931.00 | $1,959.00 |
| Silver Price | $23.35 | $23.80 |
| Gold: Silver ratio | 83.62:1 | 83.23:1 |
| Gold Miners bullish percent index: | 50.00 | 53.57 |
| Dollar Index | 102.80 | 103.56 |
| Dow: Gold Ratio (BahaUS 33935.00/Gold price, $1,931.00) = | 17.57 | 16.91 |
| Current USA inflation rate (Dept. of Statistics) | 4.0% | 4.9% |
Gold’s low of the week was $1,925.00 and the high was $1,971.00, now trading at around $1,934.00.
- The monthly chart for Gold is a hold and still looks positive.
- The weekly chart is a hold. The spike high is not supported by the other signals, so no sell yet. I get mixed signals now at support.
- The daily chart gave a buy indication last week and is holding on to it by the skin of its teeth. Today looks like a low as the price runs sideways. The indicators are however pointing down.
The low for Silver this week was $23.19 and the high $24.41, trading around $23.42 at present.
- Silver on the monthly chart remains a buy.
- The weekly chart is a sell, within a whisker of turning up again. One more indicator to turn positive and we will get a buy.
- The daily chart is a sell, so out of the market. Price is inside the long term trading range. The indicators are looking better, but no buy signal yet.
