Billionaire hedge-fund manager Ray Dalio kept his faith in the two biggest exchange-traded funds backed by gold, even as an investor exodus sent prices of the metal tumbling . . . .

Gold reached a low of $1,196 in Europe this morning as the Turkish currency crisis is driving non-U.S. currencies and precious metals lower . . . .

In just the past few years, global asset values have risen to the biggest bubbles in history.  Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be a concern to the market because most people believe they are getting richer . . . .

I think last Friday was a turning point in the downward trend that we have seen in the Gold and Silver price. Our President raised aluminum/steel tariffs on Turkey, which caused a Turkish currency crisis . . . .

Exciting day… Our President raised aluminum/steel tariffs on Turkey, which caused a Turkish currency crisis. The U.S. Dollar index soared above 96 this morning (14-month high) then Gold, currency, and equity markets sold off . . . .

Twice in the past the price of silver has risen in a short period to $50. It happened in 1980 during the Hunt brother’s manipulation and again three decades later in April 2011, when the price rose to nearly $50 . . . .

As the Trade War continues to dominate the news, the U.S. Dollar continues to make new highs, with the Index at a new 2 year high of 95.50 . . . .

While increasing trade war tariffs and the strength of the U.S. Dollar dominate the news, Gold continues to stay at a ridiculously low price . . . .

A lot of people dismiss gold and precious metals as irrelevant to the world monetary system. But how can money be irrelevant? . . . .

The U.S. Dollar is staying strong and the Gold price is staying weak . . . .
