It was another yo-yo week for the precious metals as they were hit hard Monday through Wednesday on further technical selling. The breakdown from our $1310 area triggered stops and pushed gold below $1280 and made a spike low of $1260. Yellenomics fortunately came in to save the day as Janet Yellen (the next Fed Chair) said in a testimony that she is in no hurry to stop spending programs anytime soon. ...

Another wild week for the precious metals as headlines across the globe and technical selling hurt the charts. The main driver for initiating the selling in precious metals came from the ECB interest rate announcement, when the ECB unexpectedly cut rates. This caused the US dollar to appreciate and the inverse relationship that we haven’t seen a lot of lately took over and propelled gold lower. Technical selling below the $1310 level ...

Even the promise of $85 billion per month in treasury purchases wasn’t enough to push the metals markets higher. Gold fell to a three-week low on Friday after rather hawkish comments came in from the FOMC meeting on Wednesday. Weakness in Europe caused the US dollar to appreciate adding fuel to the fire and pushing the precious metals lower. Both the GLD and SLV recorded significant monthly outflows for the first time ...

The precious metals held higher all week since rebounding from the spike low of $1251, which formed a hammer candlestick pattern on October 15th that we highlighted in last week’s Weekly Trends.

Tuesday was the turn for gold as it broke below our $1270 level moving all the way down to $1250 before rebounding and closing green on the day.

The precious metals had a whirlwind of a week. Debt ceiling and government shutdown headlines caused serious volatility, which was felt though all precious metals markets. Several things stood out earlier in the week that hinted on bearish action. Firstly, the weakness of the USD has a tendency to move gold higher; this was not the case this week.

It was a quiet week for the precious metals as the majority of the week was spent digesting last week’s move; gold prices rose slightly overall for the week. The US Federal Reserve’s decision not to taper should create a floor for gold around these levels. Next week, look for gold to try to break the mini downtrend it has been in since September. Silver will follow the gold price action, ...
The precious metals had a volatile week as the US Federal Reserve surprised investors by keeping the $85 billion per month asset purchasing plan going. Expectations were low heading into the announcement that the Fed was going to continue to prop up the market. The ongoing stimulus is a positive for the precious metals markets, and one of the main drivers for those who believe precious metals should be valued considerably ...
