Gold’s Resilience Amid Market Turmoil
Gold holds strong this week; despite some volatility it finishes nearly even. Silver fell a staggering 7% while platinum and palladium dropped around 2%.

Debt, Inflation, and Gold
Precious metals continued their slide this week, with gold and silver falling just around 2% and platinum and palladium taking heavier declines. We focus on key technical levels and investigate the support levels for metals. The current pullback presents a potential opportunity for long-term...
-
Dollar Strength Pressures Metals
Precious metals continued to pull back this week, with gold falling 3% and silver 6%. In turn the dollar pushed above 101. Despite the current drops in metals, gold still finished the quarter up 3.7% and platinum nearly 10%. As rising treasury yields and inflation put pressure on metals…

Metals at a Crossroads
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…

Fed Hike Shakes Precious Metals
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 Cracks Are Showing
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...
-
Metals Correct As Demand Builds
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…

What’s Driving Gold Higher?
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...
-
Gold Finds Its Footing
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...
-
Metals Shake Off The Pullback
Gold and silver just delivered their strongest week in months, with gold rallying to $4,410 and silver climbing above $65. Zoom out and the picture is even better: gold is up roughly 12% in just three weeks off its recent lows, and silver has jumped about 18%. After a long summer of grinding...
-
Metals Gain Momentum
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…
more -
Markets Flash Warning Signs
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. Beneath a boring dollar chart and a modest...
-
Gold Eyes Higher Prices
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. For disciplined buyers, that combination is worth paying…
more -
Gold’s Quiet Week
Kicking off the week, gold and silver experienced small swings in price, but finished nearly unchanged. Platinum and palladium both posted strong gains along with the S&P 500 nearing the all-time high. Long-term fundamentals including rising government debt and fiscal deficits continue to support...
-
Geopolitics Test Gold’s Strength
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...
-
Gold Market Reset
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. While the last three months delivered the worst quarterly performance in over a decade, the bigger picture — and the technical setup — still favors patient...
-
Metals Take a Breather
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…

FED Sparks Market Volatility

Gold Tests Support as Silver Corrects
Gold and silver pulled back again this week, but don’t mistake a short-term retreat for a change in direction. The forces driving this multi-year bull market in precious metals haven’t gone anywhere — and for patient, long-term investors, the current dip may be one of the better buying windows...
