A Chinese guy, Eric something, was on Luongo's podcast, talking about the Chinese love of gold - and their psychology. Among other traits, he says the Chinese buy to hold. They don't think of it as investment; they think of it as money in the sock.The USD Index is actually strengthening which means momentum is very strong. I am waiting for a pullback, but who knows where it will happen.
It needed to pull back a bit just look at the chart. Spot prices will not go straight up all the time. The question is do you buy on a $40 drop like today or look for sub-$2700 spot gold?
I am buying ETFs to move cash out of bonds. I think if Trump wins the Dow is going to 50k, but I do not know how PMs will react? I suppose silver and platinum spot prices will increase at a faster velocity because of their industrial demand component which fits the current narrative of silver passing gold performance.
Yes, totally agree Bug. Just that this was a straight $100 move in a single day and possibly the first I can recall in 12 years of watching.Mr. Slammy's gonna do what he do. Nothing goes straight up. Won't make any difference in the long run.
