Why Gold Is Diverging From the Rest of the Commodity Markets

I think most people don't really understand what is going on in the gold market. There is a reason why the cartel manipulation in gold broke right here when they were unable to get gold below $2000.

There's a reason why we've got this violent surge higher...and then instead of getting a corrective move, gold just traded sideways and has broken out again. Now, there's probably going to be some kind of correction in gold over the next several weeks...

But the driver of this move, this bull market in gold, is different than the driver here. This driver in the $2000s was due to inflation. And when the housing market collapsed, and the Fed printed billions and billions of dollars to try and soften that blow, it ignited inflation. Oil went to $100, almost $150 a barrel and gold made this huge move from $250 to almost $2000. Inflation is not what is driving this breakout in gold, this is fear of the government, that is driving this breakout.
