Straight UP! Gold and Silver Respond As They Should

With the opening of the Globex the metals jumped on a rocket ship and spiked higher. This should’ve been expected as currencies and equities futures are moving lower. When the Sydney market opened 30 minutes after Globex both metals came back a little. As of this writing Hong Kong is about to open and we believe the climb higher will continue.

London will open at 2:30am EST and we should see a pull back from there. Will gold take a look at $1,600 tonight? Will silver hold above $17.50 and wonder into the area of $18? Don’t be surprised. Don’t be surprised to see the metals preform really well all week, unless Trump sends out a tweet that send the markets reeling in the other direction.

Is this the move we have been awaiting for the past six years? If you haven’t listened to the Jeffrey Christian interview from Friday, you should. – Click here now – Love him, hate him think of him what you will, the thing is the company he works for owns the buttons that push gold and silver higher and push gold and silver lower. If you overlook what he says about is happening or what he thinks is going to happen you do so at your own peril. Do I like him, do I want to have a beer with him or watch a game with him – no. I do, however, want to know what he has to say about these markets that rigged beyond belief.

Don’t forget to watch the dollar / yuan inversion. As Turd Ferguson has taught us all, this is a direct reflection of how gold will respond. The dollar / yuan trade moves and then gold echoes that move in very short order.
