Gold & Silver Prices Are At Long Term Support Levels
Stuppler & Company is proud to provide our clients this Weekly Market Report (WMR). The report gives you my overview of the prior week’s precious metal and rare coin market activity and news. In each WMR I share the current status of Gold and Silver along with their support and resistance levels. |
This Week's Headlines: |
With our U.S. Dollar making a one month high of 93.23 and a Federal Reserve announcement being released this week, the Gold price was under pressure all last week. My biggest concern is that Gold broke below the key $1,750 support level last Thursday and Friday, although it closed above each day. Gold closed last week at $1,750.20 per ounce, down $41 for the week.
The spot Gold price has dropped over $80 in the past two weeks and at a very attractive price level. Plus, with physical demand lower and premiums on the popular investment items dropped, this represents an excellent long-term value. With Gold at the current price level, I would expect to see strong Central Bank buying, which has happened in the recent past.
Every time I lose a little bullishness for Gold, I think about the extraordinary growth in the M2 Money Supply since January. You add that to the $120 billion a month provided to the stock market from the Federal Reserve which will cause continued devaluement of the U.S. Dollar. For those reasons and many more, the world’s largest investors, and major Central Banks are increasing their Gold reserves at a record pace, while physical supplies are draining.
Today: We have the stock market, Bitcoin, the U.S. Dollar and interest rates dropping while Gold is moving higher. Reports of dwindling physical supplies of Gold and Silver in the COMEX is providing increasing demand.
Silver followed Gold lower last week, dropping below the key $23 support level and closing at $22.38 per ounce, down $1.52 for the week. The Gold-to-Silver ratio soared last Friday to over 78-to-1, a very attractive level to increase a Silver position. However, I recommend waiting until Silver firmly moves back above the key $24 per ounce support level.
Today: Silver reached a new 2021 low of $22.06 in early European trading this morning. Silver rallied back with Gold as the markets moved out of Europe and into the U.S.
