Gold breakout and the USD breakdown – What it all means

Cory
August 29, 2017

The Junior Miner Junkie, David Erfle is with us today to discuss the breakout in gold and the continued weakness in the USD. It was interesting to see gold breakout on options expiration day yesterday. As for the dollar it dropped below 92 points. We are closely watching the weekly close this week to see if these breakouts/breakdown hold.

    There is no free market in gold, even if its “price” is determined on the COMEX.

    Asian demand continues apace. That is what ultimately determines the direction of price, regardless of the machinations of the Fed., Goldman, etc.

    I agree with Mr. Erfle with regard to incipient inflation.

      The metals closed down but the miners closed up. When the metals closed down a month ago, the miners closed way down.
      Gold has outperformed the miners by a wide margin all year but that leadership is now reversing.

        Aug 29, 2017 29:25 PM

        I agree, but I thought I would throw out some negative vibes just so that I can prevent myself from getting my hopes up. lol.

    dollar is headed to 89. had the target last year.. early.

      Aug 29, 2017 29:35 PM

      Also, he’s correct with that 1500 call for gold. It’s heading to 1550 and silver will see $26. After that, a global deflationary bust is going to wipe out the stock market and the precious metals market. Silver would be back at five dollars and gold at $500. The S&P 500 is going to get obliterated. That will be the time to load up on precious metals as that will be the new sector that enjoys a bull run.

        I’m more skeptical on this one…silver at $5!!!

        That could be a fun and profitable ride, if the world doesn’t fall apart en route.

          Aug 29, 2017 29:51 PM

          Same here. That’s not gonna happen.

      Aug 29, 2017 29:40 PM

      89 is my short term target, too.

        Aug 29, 2017 29:32 PM

        I could see the dollar dip into the high 80’s, but the comment about Silver going down to $5 seems more unlikely.

    There’s a lot of amazement and wonder at how the “stock market” can be up today with the devastating news out of Texas and the latest North Korean missile launch. Longtime readers of TFMR know exactly how this market levitation is accomplished so this post is designed as a public service in order to better educate and inform everyone else.

    Excellent comments from David about base metals and inflation.

    Aug 29, 2017 29:28 PM

    So the metals backed off and the dollar climbed. To be expected I think in light of whats happened in the precious 48 hours. Is this backfilling or an early reversal? I would like to think the former but who knows for sure.

      Aug 29, 2017 29:50 PM

      Agreed Ozibatla – some back-filling was in order after the move up in the Precious Metals the last 2 days, but unless the US Dollar really gets some legs and charges upwards with some oomph, then I only expect it to to drop down a bit. The debt ceiling issue will keep a bit of pressure on the greenback until later this fall, but it is pretty beat down at this point.

    Aug 29, 2017 29:38 PM

    Silver has struggled with the 200 day moving avg throughout this year and has now traced back towards it. Lets see if it can stay afloat above this area?

      Aug 29, 2017 29:58 PM

      It would be constructive to see Silver hold up, consolidate at support, and keep on trucking. Currently at $17.41 isn’t that bad of spot for Silver for many of the miners. Most of them are getting down in the $10-$16 All In Sustaining Cost level now, but there always additional costs that chew through more money than those number indicate, so I like to throw on an extra buck or two to factor that in. It will be even more constructive for companies in the $18-$20+ level, as they’ll really be making some cheddar at that level.

      I’ll split the difference, – Once we can get back to $19 Silver, then we can get out the party hats and streamers again. 🙂

        Aug 29, 2017 29:02 PM

        OK – How about at $19.43 -$19.43 for the year of the Steel penny.

        That actually has nothing to do with Silver, but can symbolize manufacturing growth and the industrial side of demand growth for Silver, (paired with it’s precious monetary nature). It’s just a fun target to shoot for by maybe first quarter 2018.

        There has to a definitive daily close above $19.43-$19.43 to break out the bubbly. 😮

    Aug 29, 2017 29:39 PM

    Those levels would be a step in the right direction but many have thought these sorts of prices were constructive in the past only to see them break down and silver to erase its gains into negative territory.

    Early 2014 price was $22oz. July last year price got above $21oz. We know what happened after that. Hence why I remain cautious until silver can break long term resistance that was formerly support in the bull market years: $26oz, give or take a few cents.

    Ultimately until that eventuates, I think silver (and gold by default) are still just making up ground from all the unwound damage dating back to 2013.

    Make no mistake though, these last two days have been promising. Hopefully the PMs can build a good base here and continue upwards.

      Aug 29, 2017 29:15 PM

      That’s a good point. 2013 was a dismal year in the PMs and that is where the chart damage really was inflicted across the sector. Yes, at $26 Silver the miners will be chugging right along, and I could see that 2 years out.

    Here’s Why Louise Yamada Says Gold’s Going To Break Out
    Sarah Benali – Tuesday August 29, 2017

    “What’s interesting about today’s action is that [gold]’s moving inversely to the [stock] market,” the managing director of Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors said.

    “If gold continues up here, it’s possible that we move more into a bit of a corrective trend in equities. There’s a lot here suggesting that equities are looking fragile under the surface and it would be logical to see equities pull back a little as we get a rally in gold.”

    However, the former Citigroup analyst isn’t giving up on gold just yet, noting that the metal is now “breaking out.”

    “I think that gold can go higher. It could possibly get to the next level at $1,380,” she said. “$1,400 would be key resistance because that goes all the way back to 2014.”

    Aug 30, 2017 30:47 AM

    I think gold does abit of basing work here in the interim. If it does so in the low to mid 1300s, that would be a good result for gold. The 1370 mark is of great importance i believe. With continued positive unfluences, it could finish the year above this region but plenty of water to go under the bridge before then
