Commentaries & Views

Last week I commented that the weight of evidence suggested at least a short term low was in for the metals. I also suggested that gold was preparing to break out from the pennant formation.

That chart is updated below;

Silver’s run back up to the top of the range also looks to be underway.

Congrats if you pulled the trigger last week, under whipsaw conditions. The reward should be a profit going into the FOMC meeting today. Bulls should brace for volatility, but barring an intraday reversal, the game will be to hold on for the next gold target around $1965 and that all too familiar $24.20 level for spot silver.

Thanks and good luck.
