• Gold, Sliding Silver and Declining Interest Rates

  September 27, 2019, 10:06 AM

They're testing this month's lows and silver's outperformance indeed didn't last as the white metal is leading the way lower. It's already more than $2 below its September high and it begs the question whether the interest rate signal will continue playing out in the following months.

• Did Gold and Silver Just Invalidate Their Short-Term Breakdown?

  September 23, 2019, 7:20 AM

  

  Friday's session brought us an informative sign for the precious metals. This development took place in the USD, as the world reserve currency initially declined only to reverse and close higher.

Let's explore how the short- and long-term are affected exactly.

  September 18, 2019, 6:44 AM

  

  Both gold and silver moved higher yesterday but it were the miners that spiked. Looking at the last few sessions, have these moves changed anything?
