We are going to look at how far bullion still has to go, relative to other major US asset classes—specifically, stocks and the nation’s median home price.
What you will likely take away from this long view is that bullion still has many miles to run and further items to afford per troy ounce.

Bloomberg reports that clients and walk-in buyers crowded into a dedicated lounge for bullion transactions.
Overnight, after an initial puke (catch-down) in precious metals, gold prices are bouncing back, as it appears retail investors are ‘buying the dip’ across AsiaPac.
