The market widely expects the Fed will say that it's going 25 basis points. I think the Fed Chair will open the door for another 25 points after that, but not be committed.
The Fed is going to panic again and print more money. And that will give the stock market a bounce. I think it will be very bullish for the commodity sector in general and specifically for the precious metals sector.
We have a big week ahead of us with banks. We have the Federal Reserve on Wednesday. I think at a minimum the Fed and the European Central Bank will raise rates by 25 basis points.
The stock market is getting a little long in the tooth. I don't feel that way in the metals though. The gold market is staying and fighting at the 18-week moving average of closes.
I am going to trade further upside cautiously and watch the market carefully to see if it still has an intention of reaching 5000+ before a major bear market begins.
It’s gold versus fiat trench warfare. The dollar went to a new low, but gold didn’t go to a new high. Gold and US interest rates are more correlated than gold and the dollar.
We're having a big rally in the gold market, up to 1980. Silver takes off. So what's going on? Well, it's the dollar. The dollar continues to stay under pressure.
