Gold and silver just keep rising...is this not alarming?

    Gold at its 45 th record high for 2024
    Silver at 12 year highs!!!!


    They say it's an inflation hedge yet powell says inflation is nice and tame and headed for 2%. ..

    Something isn't just adding up.....
     
  2. Powell has been wrong about "actual inflation" since his first day on the job. He's managed Fed policy with the fantasy inflation numbers he wants us all to believe.

    If one can rely upon the grapevine, PTJ and Druck are both overweight SHORTS in treasuries... meaning they expect higher inflation and higher interest rates.

    It IS odd for metals to be rallying while the $USD is showing strength and interest rates are rising, .... those usually suppress gold/silver. Somebody's got this all wrong.

    FWIW...

    Well Paul Tudor Jones was on Squawk Box CNBC today laying out the trade:

    1) No fixed income
    2) Short long duration treasuries
    3) Buy any & everything that is a commodity
    including precious metals, stocks & Bitcoin

    He mentioned the only way out is the Japan way aka inflate your debt away.

    I have read that the FED and market makers have ""Friendly competitions, match the FED up against the traders.
    But i have never read that the FED lost any bets.
    And since they know the FED future moves,
    not at all wowed here by the FED's track record

    Putin BRICS de dollarization movement away from US hegemony.
    Oil companies working with commie countries and Obama insiders working for China.
    Defense contractors making war for profit. All three branches of gov't knuckled under.
     
  6. Been hearing that for years, but nobody making any progress.

    US deficits running $3T/yr. Just how does one inflate that away?

    Japan still has huge debt... all efforts so far have mostly resulted in trashing Yen.bt away

    "Inflate debt away"?

  10. I don't know if that is something to worry about.

    Look at how the VIX spiked in August. Gold and Silver stayed still.

    It is true that the metals are both now at ATH, but how do you actually read that looking at VIX?
