Is gold going to finally take off? The answer is yes, this week. I put a high degree of confidence in this. We have the Fed out of the way and they raised rates. Even with the bad data we have been seeing, the Fed ignores it and sticks with their plan of higher and higher rates. The stock market believes the Fed and doesn’t pull back much and keeps moving higher. This is about to change here soon, but it won’t be the “we’re going to the moon” with prices for gold and silver just yet. We are heading higher for sure, and this move higher will shake most shorts out of their position because it will move high enough to get many to think we are off an running with metals. But it will be for them and gold bugs another trap. Prices will crash in the deflationary credit contraction I write about in my book.
Meanwhile we have the stock market hitting new highs. This too will not last but we trade with the markets till they turn. The stock prices moving higher have put big time pressure on metals and the dollar has even moved back up some.
We should see an oil bounce coming soon and I think silver moving higher will be the first sign metals are ready to take off.
