What’s truly driving the price action in the precious metals?
On this Weekend’s Show I feature three very different analysts with their views on the precious metals. There are some very interesting key factors to consider and similar price action they are look for.
Please keep the emails coming to Fleck@kereport.com. I love hearing what you all think of the Companies I have in the show and the topics you want to hear discussed.
- Segment 1 – Mike Larson, Editor of the Safe Money Report kicks off the show by recapping the inflation data. We discuss the safer, more defensive sectors that he is investing in.
- Segment 2 – Robert Sinn, also known as Goldfinger joins me to share his insights on the gold market, in terms of price action and key technicals to note. We also recap the recent site visits he attended with Excelsior Mining and Northern Vertex Mining.

The Fed has a much more serious problem than described in segment 1.
The National debt is so high, that the Fed CANNOT raise interest rates much.
Regardless of what the Fed says, it needs inflation to make the debt less significant.
(But that is only possible by reducing the value of the US dollar.)
So the Fed WILL LIE. It will talk against inflation, but do nothing.
It will pray that interest rates will not rise, but the market will force interest rates higher.
Then the monetization of the carry-cost of the debt will get worse and the dollar WILL DECLINE, further increasing price inflation.
Exactly, the FED is trapped. When Joe and Julie investor realizes that the FED cannot raise interest rates is when gold makes its real moves.
With increasing price inflation, one would expect precious metals to rise.
However, if the Fed tries to hold interest rates low, there will be a liquidity problem.
If the Fed is slow in raising interest rates, the liquidity problem will be a problem for both stock prices and precious metal rises, if not asset prices in general.

The 233 day MA looks more important than the 200 day MA and I bet gold will take it out on Monday:

Stocks could easily bounce here based on the daily chart:

But the more important weekly chart remains bearish:

Matthew – Do you have any short positions on in the general markets? Thanks in Advance.
I do not but if I did, I would short to buy more gold miners, not to hold dollars. I doubt that stocks will crash versus USDs. Instead, I think they will grind down a slope of hope to keep retail investors committed to the long/wrong side.
That makes sense. Thanks for the reply. I don’t have any shorts on.
The XAU is up 23% since bottoming 2.5 months ago and looks fantastic. My guess is that it will continue higher in the coming week and possibly begin a short term correction the following week (which should be bought, in my opinion).
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%24XAU&p=W&yr=5&mn=11&dy=0&id=p49835327662&a=949748838
The miners look just as good versus gold as they do versus dollars.

GDX is up 28% in 2 months versus the Russell 2000.

Thanks for the charts as always Matthew……re: our conversation about valuations for PM’s that were excessive in August……with gold and silver where they are now would it be correct to say Brixton Kootenay and impact are now undervalued???
Wolfster, yes, I believe they are but that’s based on the assumption that the metals are going higher from here or at least not going materially lower. Relative to silver, all three are now trading at levels not seen in a year (April 2020 for KTN and BBB and May 2020 for IPT).
Kootenay obviously has the most assets in the ground that are 43-101 compliant but the other two clearly have significant assets just waiting to be proven (my opinion). So, any “bankable” valuation that could be assigned to them currently would obviously not be reflective of their potential. And that’s why I like such speculative plays. They have the goods but the average retail guy probably sees them (especially Brixton) as just another other drill play with risk more like that of a lottery ticket.
IPT vs SLV:

Thanks……could work out that I can double down with profits from my copper and uranium plays….and a little more galleon too
Good stuff guys. Looking forward to Monday.

IS THIS THE SAME GUY ABOVE…..
It’s funny, time and again in the past The Reserve Board had feared inflation. Inflation was thought to bring hard times but now they welcome inflation. Now they don’t fear inflation because The U.S. economy has gone from a solid economy to a service economy and the high fliers don’t need steel, nickel, copper, as much as they did in the past. General Motors, General Electric, American telephone, and United States Steel aren’t the high fliers that drove the economy in the past. Now they have the bogus economy, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and Google. They don’t rely on commodities. The torch has been given to China and they are whooping American industry because it has lost what really matters, Manufacturing of hard goods. DT
Agreed, however, the masses won’t catch on until it’s already too late. It’s the remedy that brings hard times
Lots of work ahead for the Plunge Protection Team.
A lot of hard work for The Justice Department…if they don’t get more opposition.
Looks like Coeur Mining is taking over Victoria Gold
18% of Victoria for $117,2 million in shares was a clever move by Coeur
The remaining 82% are probably more expensive

Have been listening to the daily and weekend broadcasts for years. Thank you. However, you are not doing your listenersv any favors by having two hours, or even two minutes of commentary from Jeff Christian. You might as well conduct an interview with the lying Jeff Curry from GS. Christian has clearly been exposed as the enemy to this sector.
Amen Brother! Who can forget his long term comments on ” there is no gold manipulation”…….carried that one even when proven wrong. I put on permanent ignore long ago.
Seems like Christian and Andy Maguire testified before the CFTC when Gensler was Chief. I think there was conflict between what they were reporting with Andy being identified as a whistler blower. The issue was market manipulation of the PM market. Over time, I believe Maguire has been proven more credible.

P.S. General PM Price Quality (2nd Quarter): https://tinyurl.com/4nnha2vd
Exceptional read, but long….30 pages. Covers metals and other commodities. They expect copper to reach $15 eventually. Gold and silver: $15,000 and $750. Good analysis IMO. https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/4043042/Commentaries/2021.Q1%20Commentary/2021.Q1%20Goehring%20%26%20Rozencwajg%20Market%20Commentary.pdf?mc_cid=34a37ff919&mc_eid=347a500eba

Silver looks net bullish to me.
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%24SILVER&p=D&yr=1&mn=3&dy=0&id=p53680366225&a=500462915
What we need now is a blast above 28 (and a weekly close there).

HL vs Gold just had its best weekly close in years.
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=HL%3A%24GOLD&p=W&yr=5&mn=0&dy=0&id=p36766542046
Yeah it’s looking strong ….got some June options for HL in case the pop happens in the next 6 weeks
next logical resistance 1950, january high. So Matthew, good job, any disagreement with that speculation. That number now a magnet.
Very quiet here, expecially from those with very bearish thoughts.
I think the 1880-1890 area could cause a short term reaction this week.
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%24GOLD&p=D&yr=1&mn=7&dy=0&id=p26252579711&a=903805792
After that, watch 1930 followed by the 1960s.
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%24GOLD&p=D&yr=1&mn=3&dy=0&id=p22336916497&a=954813476
The silence around here is funny and very good sign from a contrarian perspective. We’ve a got a very steep “wall of worry” in place and that is very bullish.
Hecla just made a new 10 year high:

Hats off Matthew. I like the way this is progressing. There are just enough steps back with the grinding rise, to keep everyone hoping and waiting for a crash/pullback. Terrible for bears, but also bulls like me fixated on the exit door.
Agreed Matthew. I was traveling through the weekend, out in Nevada and Utah, and was often out of phone range in large national & state parks, but saw how well the PM markets and commodity markets did the end of the last week and figured there would be a lot of celebrating on the weekend show, but the it is interesting how quiet it is for the PMs to be breaking out like they are.
I’d imagine many are doing quite well in their mining stocks as there was a big uptick in the ones I follow the end of last week, and today they are really screaming higher again. Very nice to see, and really the PM sector has done quite well coming off the double bottom lows in March, for both April & May (when many analysts and technicians were pretty sure we’d see sideways to lower markets).
I was unsure if we were seeing just a relief rally, or a bigger move up, as there wasn’t enough data to know one way or another, but with Gold taking out even more resistance levels today, and getting back above the 200 day SMA, then those are pretty constructive.
Thinking about influencers in this sector:
If I listened to Jordan Roy-Bryne exclusively, I might never invest in PMs at all; which might be a good thing.
If all my info came from Monica Kingsley, I would likely stay invested and suffer tremendous drawdowns. Somewhere, there must be a reasonable middle ground.
However, I highly recommend following Monica; even having her on as a guest.
It’s really nice to return from my travels last week, and see Gold & Silver and really all commodities continuing to breakout.
Gold currently at $1867 (it looks to have cleared that $1850 resistance and the 200 day SMA once again intraday).
Silver currently at $28.31 (nice to see Silver with a $28 handle again, especially when 2 months back most were expecting to see a $22 handle for it in April or May).
Dr. Copper still at all time highs at $4.71
Platinum up, Zinc up, Nickel up, Lead up, Tin up, Oil up, Soft “food” Commodities are up…. As a result, my portfolio hit another all time high today. Boom!
Stay away. It’s working. 😏
Haha! Good point. I’m just surprised more people aren’t in a good mood as the miners have been doing well the last month or so, but got turbo-charged on Friday and today.
Being in Ontario with another lockdown where we can’t even go golfing certainly can cause a foul mood……..or if you still own USA ……glad I leave that pig with only a small loss months back……still stuck with your namesake tho.
I could see that where folks stuck in perpetual lockdown would cause a foul mood.
When we were just out traveling in Nevada & Utah and there were hardly any masks seen anywhere we went (even in restaurants or stores), and most people were back to normal activities, happy, and we could see peoples faces again. It was very refreshing.
As for Americas Gold & Silver, I had mentioned selling my USAS on March 18, due to the concerns I had about Mexico making an example out of them with their Cosala operations, and at that time, I saw other quality opportunities I wanted to rotate those funds into (Caliber, Wesdome, Equinox), and sure glad I did.
USAS put out their operations report today, and it went over like a lead balloon.

As for Excelsior Mining (my namestake as you mentioned), I have a small position in it, but want to see them prove they can really make the mining work with the insitu processing before getting more aggressive with it.
I noticed my Western Copper & Gold have a nice move higher today with Dr Copper still strong, so that is nice to see. They have such a massive deposit with Copper and Gold in the ground.
