Is This Good Time for Buy Gold Again???

Recommended Posts

Be careful with the "Gold will always go up" idea, Jimbo.

 

When I hear that, I think of selling.

 

Interesting times.

 

Indeed. We've seen it so many times now.

Crisis? What Crisis? If my banks debts are 5 bill, so what, central bank buys them with printed $. It's the only way out of the mess. It will continue till the debts are clear.

 

Until the debts are cleared, inflation rules and gold goes up.

If all the world's central banks continue with their policy to inflate away debt and devalue currency (under the guise of stimulus), ALL tangible assets will ultimately go up in value. True, if there's some dodgy goings on in gold and silver etc. then there could be a crisis in supply and prices could rocket. But then ultimately there are bubbles like anything. There is a limited supply, but look what happened in Oil. $150 down to something like $35 (can't remember exactly but you get the picture I'm sure). My feeling is that gold could potentially be worth much much more but then I want to see the stock indices start to march their way to much higher levels too. The S&P 500 needs to start making new all-time highs and keep going. At this point, it's likely that gold will also move considerably higher. But for now, it could be that the market is quite long already all things considered.

Remember that Gold is also a commodity, as well as being a store of wealth.

 

When traders get on the wrong side of a trade, they need to raise cash fast.

The quickest way is sell the most liquid asset in existence ... GOLD!

 

The other interesting theory is the "risk-on-risk-off" idea.

 

When things are "bad" (according to whom you may ask?) it's risk-off behaviour

for the markets - ie, "take-no-risks." That's the cue to purchase "safe" assets like

the USD, gold, CHF or the AUD as examples.

 

Monet needs a "safe-haven" in such times. But the market does not always act

predictably - sometimes they will sell gold in order to park money in the currencies.

Sometimes not.

 

When things are "rosy" (according to whom you may ask again?) and returning to

fun-fun-fun ... then it's risk-on behaviour for the markets - or "take-risks-again time."

 

Again - with markets being unpredictable, who knows whether gold will be bought or sold?

 

If you are going to trade gold, you will need very deep pockets, and a quick trigger

finger on the buy/sell button.

 

I discovered that you can not afford to take a bias on anything - gold does NOT always

go up in uncertain times. I let a very nice profit turn into a small loss, thinking that the

turn-around was just an hour away ... for over 72 hours!

 

Nope! That dog did not hunt! :crap:

that is so correct...we have to trade the markets as they are, not as they should be.

Agreed. Inflation due to printing will affect all asset classes.

Oil is not the same as gold tho. That is manipulated at least as much as fiat currency. You only have to look at the Saudis and the OPEC cartel.

Gold can be manipulated short term by futures markets and liquidation to raise capital. But can't be manipulated long term, as there is limited supply and is getting more and more expensive to produce.

but increasing prices make it possible to use the sources which was not considered profitable before...4 years ago it was 850..now it is 1750

Which means its price can not be manipulated down - no one is going to enter into a contract to sell gold at a cheaper price that they bought/produced it.

 

There will be limits to that.

 

But I know some bears are going to be caught one day (JP Morgan) and to cover their shorts they are going to have to buy gold at a loss ... I hope I see that ... what Schadenfreude!

 

:applaud:

 

PS - and if it can happen in the Silver market, then Gold is certainly not immune to some of it too!

CFTC

 

going against Chinese wealth would not be wise ;)

imvho I do not think we will ever see gold around that 850 levels, unless there is an extraordinary drop in human population...of course I may be wrong...

 

that news says they have been probing for 4 years...that did not sound so right ;)

Agreed. Inflation due to printing will affect all asset classes.

 

Well, could you pls explain?

What I see is CBs, printing money and giving it to commercial banks. And commercial banks don't flow them into the real economy, preferring to sit on piles of cash.

So how can inflation go up without money money supply growth?

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
