The yellow and white metals put on solid gains today and have been slowly taking out one level of technical resistance after the next. Both gold and silver are on the brink of breaking through some larger resistance levels and if they should bust through to the upside, then it is likely that gold may flirt with its all-time high seen last summer, and silver may finally break the $30/oz. level. If silver should gain ground above $30/oz. then it may very well make a move to test its all-time highs, which was close to $50/oz. Regardless, The Kapital News believes that the precious metals market is in the early stages of a long-term bull market. Gold and silver are sniffing out inflation and quite possibly global turmoil as well. These are some of the oldest markets on Earth and they have survived one empire after another. This is far from being the first rodeo for gold and silver. They may also know that global conflict may be well underway or is about to be. These actions have not yet been priced into global equity markets as they remain a stone’s throw away from all-time highs. Should there be global conflict on a large scale, oil prices would likely spike, panic would ensue, and equities would sell-off. Of course there may be some plays in equities, such as energy and defense companies, but the broader market would likely feel the downside pressure.
Another issue to contend with that supports higher gold and silver prices is that of the twin-deficit, which is getting worse by the day. The twin-deficit is comprised of the budget deficit and the trade deficit. The former is now in the multi-trillion dollar range and the latter is nearing the one trillion dollar mark at $850 billion! This historically, has not been good for the US dollar, which is a variable that can weigh down gold and silver should it be moving to the upside. Couple the twin-deficit with the reckless policies of the Federal Reserve and you have a recipe for economic disaster and an opportunity to capitalize on gold, silver, and other commodities. The inflation is already here, as it is an increase in the money supply. This has happened and it continues to be the policy of the Fed and other central banks. The higher prices that result from such inflationary policies are being felt and to an even greater degree globally and will continue to strain societies and governments the world over. This environment is ripe for social unrest and conflict. Let us hope and pray that it does not come to pass, but unfortunately, if history is any indicator, and it is, then get prepared.
