Gold & Silver Get Slammed on Positive Economic Reports

by Mike Gleason, Silver Seek:

Gold has been the headline performer in the first half of the year – breaking records and commanding attention. But in the second half of 2024, silver may be set to steal the show.

Silver has been quietly outperforming gold since February. Silver prices surged to an 11-year high last month.

The junior monetary metal still has a long way to go in order to reach a new all-time high above $49 an ounce. Even if it doesn’t achieve that feat in 2024, it could still set a new record for a year-end closing price.

As Silver Reprices Globally, Citizens Largely Sleep

by David Jensen, Jensen’s Economic, Precious Metals, & Markets Newsletter:

Silver is now repricing, shedding 4 decades of price fixing in London, as shortage hits global markets.

Few can comprehend what is actively happening.

A 5-year silver price chart speaks.

Silver Market Mindgames: Psyop to Sell

by SilverWars, Silver Seek:

For the last five years, the world has consumed more silver than it produced. Demand from the US Military (for electronics, ships, and weapon systems), the aerospace sector, EVs, and photovoltaic manufacturers keeps climbing—yet supplies lags. By all accounts, the fundamentals of silver are rock solid. You’d think this supply crunch and industrial appetite would send prices soaring and convince retails holders to cling to their physical silver. But instead, many small investors are losing faith at the worst possible time. What gives?

It turns out the real battle is not in the mines, but in our minds!

Rickards on Gold Leasing: Is It All There?

by Jim Rickards, Daily Reckoning:

Our friend and colleague Jim Rickards has the energy and drive of a 20-year old. I try to read everything he writes, and watch all his media appearances. But sometimes a gem slips through the cracks.

Two months ago, Jim was featured on Daniela Cambone’s Youtube show. This was a gem, and luckily a reader alerted us to it.

The provocative title is “Jim Rickards: Is the Gold Gone? Did the U.S. Treasury Lease it? This Would Break the System”.

The Fed Gave Precious Metals Investors The Green Light

by Dave Kranzler, Investment Research Dynamics:

Yesterday (Wednesday, December 13th) the Fed signaled the end to interest rate hikes and, in so many words, implied that now the timing of rate cuts is being informally discussed. While stocks and bonds staged a rally, the precious metals sector sprinted higher. Gold and silver rose 2.4% and nearly 5%, respectively, while the mining stocks as represented by GDX soared over 6%. Across the board, the precious metals sector and mining stocks in terms of percentage price gains ran circles around the rest of the stock market. This should be the start of a long, sustained bull cycle in the precious metals sector that could take even seasoned gold bugs like me by surprise with the size of the moving coming.

Holiday Hangovers, Missing Bankers, and the One Market That Won’t Stay Quiet

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when Wall Street goes on vacation, the answer is simple:

👉 The kids take over the store.

👉 And silver doesn’t like being babysat. 😈

We’re heading into one of the strangest weeks of the financial year — the one right after Christmas. And if you’re Joe Six-Pack, Steve Chardonnay, or anyone who glances at markets between football games and leftovers, here’s the bottom line:

Gold-Silver Ratio Over 103 Indicates Silver Is Still on Sale!

by Mike Maharrey, Silver Seek:

As gold marches ever higher, silver continues to lag, like a kid more interested in sniffing flowers than keeping up with his parents’ pace.

Don’t get me wrong. Silver hasn’t done horribly so far this year. It is up a little over 12 percent. However, it has failed to close the gap with gold, and that has many investors questioning what’s going on with the white metal.

As of this morning, the gold-silver ratio was just over 103:1. That means it takes about 103 ounces of silver to buy an ounce of gold.

This is slightly above the 1991 peak and not too far below the all-time high of 123:1 during the pandemic chaos in 2020.
